Call for Papers

Thirteenth Annual NAPS Meeting, Loyola, Chicago, 28-30 May, 1998

If you wish to read a paper at the conference, please submit your paper title along with an abstract of approx. 200 words.

These should be sent by February 1, 1998 to:

Susan Ashbrook Harvey Department of Religious Studies

PO Box 1927

Brown University

Providence, RI 02912

Registration forms will be mailed in early January.

Queries and other correspondence may be sent to that address, or by e-mail to: Susan_Harvey@ Brown.edu

Abstracts, however, should be submitted in HARD COPY ONLY.

If you need any special A/V equipment, please include a request with the abstract.

If you are willing to chair a session at the conference, please let Susan Harvey know. You need not be reading a paper to chair a session, but it would be helpful to know in what field of interest you would prefer to be involved. Proposals for entire sessions, usually made up of three papers, are also welcome, as are proposals for special sessions - discussions, for example, by several people of a recent book. Our goal is to make the conference as valuable as possible for all members, and we welcome all suggestions for improving the program of the annual meeting.

Meanwhile, thank you for your continuing interest, and for your help in making the annual NAPS conference an interesting and enjoyable gathering of scholars of early Christianity.
