Contextualizing North African Christianity


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: This year, we have an open call for three sessions. The first is entitled the Book of Hebrews in North Africa and will focus on the reception of Hebrews in North Africa, including its absence (almost) in early North African authors to its importance in later writers. Papers may consider a range of issues such as the use of particular texts, Hebrews in the work of a particular author, or changing views of its authorship, for example. The second session is entitled Food, Drink and Fasting and concerns practices around food and drink in North Africa. Papers may consider the use of food and drink as symbols, the practice of the eucharist, ascetic concerns, or other aspects of this theme. The third session is entitled Bible, Text and Tradition in North Africa and will consider the reception and use of Scripture in North Africa. Papers may consider the knowledge of biblical languages, the LXX and other texts uses as the basis of Latin translations, the formation of the canon, and other aspects related to the theme.
