Call for Papers
On 8-10 April 2015 the research units History of Church and Theology and Literary Studies: Latin Literature of the University of Leuven will
organize, in collaboration with the Augustinian Historical Institute of Malta, an International
Conference on North African Patristic Sermons. This
conference, which will be supported by the Scientific Committee of the Series Latina of the Corpus Christianorum (Brepols
Publishers) and the review Augustiniana (Heverlee/Leuven), will bring together scholars who
have recently made important contributions to the study of patristic
homiletics.
The conference will take place
in Malta, at the Augustinian
Historical Institute. It is
meant as a sequel to the conferences
organised in Leuven/Turnhout (30-31 May 2008) and Rome (15-17 September 2011)
entitled ‘Ministerium sermonis’, the
proceedings of which have been published in Instrumenta Patristica et Mediaevalia 53 and 65 (Brepols, Turnhout 2009 and 2012).
While the previous two conferences focussed on Augustine’s preaching, the 2015 conference will be dedicated to
the broader field of patristic sermons in Latin North Africa. We remain
interested in Augustine, but warmly welcome all contributions devoted to other
African preachers/sermons. A lecture should be 40 minutes long and will
be followed by a general discussion of 10 minutes.
Committed keynote speakers
include: Isabelle Bochet, Luc De Coninck, Hubertus Drobner, Carol Harrison, Eric Rebillard, and Clemens Weidmann.
If you would like to deliver a
lecture during this conference, please send the provisional title, abstract
(max. 500 words) and a concise CV (max. 500 words) before 1 June 2014, to:
We will let you know whether
your paper is included by 1 July 2014. Subsequently, all participants are kindly invited to announce the definitive
title of their lecture and send us a short abstract (or hand-out, which will be
put in the conference map for all participants) before 1 January 2015. The organizing committee has the intention of
publishing the contributions to the conference as quickly as possible within Instrumenta Patristica et Mediaevalia, published by Brepols Publishers.
The Augustinian Historical Institute of Malta will provide lodging and
meals. Participants are asked to make and pay for their own travel
arrangements.
Yours sincerely,
