Requirements for Participation

Nag Hammadi and Gnosticism


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The ISBL Section Nag Hammadi and Gnosticism invites papers on any topic related to the study of Nag Hammadi and Coptic Gnostic literature, particularly the following two themes, which will serve as our focus in separate sessions at the 2018 meeting. The first is the transmission of apocrypha in Egypt, highlighting textual fluidity and perspectives from New Philology; this topic will be explored in a session co-sponsored by the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha Program Unit. Second, we call for papers that explore cognitive science-approaches to the Nag Hammadi (and related) literature. Papers dealing with other issues in the study of Nag Hammadi may be included in an open session.
