Prayer in Antiquity


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Prayer in Antiquity program unit is hosting three sessions in 2022. Our first session is a jointly sponsored session with Syriac Studies. For this session, we welcome contributions that engage with various forms or modes of prayer in the Syriac tradition in its social or cultural contexts, such as liturgical prayer, efficacy of prayer, prayer and illness/healing, praying with the body, praying with material objects, cultivating a disposition of prayer. Our second session is on the topic of “Embodiment, Community, and Ancient Prayers”. Our third session will be an open session. We ask that all proposals clearly identify the data that will be discussed, relevant texts, and the study’s methodological approach.
