CALL FOR PAPERS

Graeco-Roman Society and the New Testament: Family and Friendship as Reality and Metaphor in the Graeco-Roman World and in the New Testament (EABS)
Family, one of the primary social domains of the ancient Mediterranean societies, as well as friendship, an important type of social commitment and solidarity often closely related to the family, seem to have played a significant role in everyday life and to have affected all other social structures and spheres of the Graeco-Roman society (e.g. religion, politics etc.). Their overarching presence as a social reality and as an imagery and metaphor can be detected in literary and non-literary texts as well as in artifacts of the Graeco-Roman period. The New Testament texts seem to conform to this rule; on the one hand, family and friendship relations are attested or presupposed by many of them and on the other hand, terminology and images deriving from the world of family and friendship are used in order to depict the relationships of Christian groups and individuals or to convey the theological message of the New Testament authors. The session(s) of the meeting in Estonia will deal with various aspects of the family and friendship relations (e.g. family or friendship terminology, structures and networks, their interaction with other social domains etc) as social reality and as imagery and discuss texts of the New Testament where these relations and concepts seem to consist the context, within which these texts would be read and understood.
Proposals for papers should be sent to Ekaterini Tsalampouni (etsala67@otenet.gr) by January 31st, 2010.
