Ancient Jewish and Christian Meals and Their Afterlives


Program Unit Type: Consultation
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: Building on the achievements of the Meals in the Greco-Roman world unit, this section will pursue a comparative approach with later developments of meal practice and discourse in Judaism and Christianity. Expanding previous research on early Jewish and Christian meals, we will consider the reception of formative Greco-Roman meal practice in Late Antiquity and beyond. Through studying the reception history of early Christian and Jewish meal-texts and their dynamic evolution, we will examine the complex development of meal ritual using an intra-religious and inter-religious lens.
