Requirements for Participation

The Historical Paul


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Historical Paul section welcomes proposals for two sessions: (1) Manuscripts as Pauline Memorialization: For this session, a sequel to our 2021 panel “Ancient Epistolography and Material Philology,” we invite papers that explore the Pauline manuscript tradition as a site of biographical memorialization: How was Paul’s biographical legacy reflected in and shaped by the manuscripts that contain his letters? Papers might consider a variety of evidence, including interpolations and variant readings, paratextual features (headings, argumenta, Euthalian apparatus), and the act of collection itself. (2) An open call for papers that address the section’s objective of providing a contextually plausible account of the historical figure Paul. (3) A third session will consist of invited responses to Ryan Schellenberg’s book Abject Joy: Paul, Prison, and the Art of Making Do (OUP, 2021).
