Call for Papers Fathers and Fatherhood in Early Christianity Workshops at the XIX International Conference on Patristic Studies at Oxford (August 5-9, 2024) On the occasion of the upcoming 2024 Oxford Patristics Conference (August 5-9, 2024), we are pleased to announce the Call for Papers “Fathers and Fatherhood in early Christianity”. Abstract:  Although the subject of God as a father and spiritual fatherhood has been discussed many times, the physical side of fatherhood, or issues related to conception, birth, protection, upbringing, education, offspring, the father’s life and death were rarely dealt with in the researches on the theology of the Church Fathers. The goal of the workshop is to present the physical fatherhood and related issues in the works of the Church Fathers and early Christian writers. Some of early Christian writers were fathers themselves (Augustine, Paulinus of Nola), many experienced the unique atmosphere of father’s home and fatherly authority in t...

Colloque – The Medieval Book Through the Lens of the Librarian 7th European Congress of Medieval Studies 06-09 September 2023 University of Basel Switzerland Programme   The 7th European Congress of Medieval Studies of the Fédération Internationale des Instituts d’Études Médiévales (FIDEM) will be organized by the Department of Arts, Media, and Philosophy of the University of Basel, Switzerland. Subject : A book is first of all a book, with a physical appearance, a title, and a content. The content is perhaps the part that most of all determines the book’s impact. But also the title and the physical appearance have their share, and perhaps also other aspects, such as the reputation of the author, the period in which the book was written, and the reception it received. The impact of these latter aspects is more difficult to trace, but they may produce a recognized quality, an aura that materializes itself when books come together in a physical or imaginary room, when they have to co...

VIII Jornadas de Estudios Patrísticos / VIII Conference of Patristics Studies Orden de San Agustín - Biblioteca Agustiniana de Buenos Aires     Call of Papers - Deadline: 28 Ago 2023 « Ascesis, silencio y huida.  Experiencias del abandono del mundo en los Padres de la Iglesia.»         La tajante oposición esgrimida en el Evangelio de Juan sobre el antagonismo entre Jesús y el mundo provocó intensas reflexiones acerca del lugar de los creyentes en el orden político y económico vigente. El llamado a la misión y la conversión de las gentes exigió que los Padres de la Iglesia se preguntasen acerca de las maneras más apropiadas de vivir, testimoniar y transmitir la Buena Noticia sin contaminarse por el ritmo y las costumbres de la sociedad grecorromana. Si bien el matrimonio y la vida familiar gozaron de alta estima entre las iglesias, la huida al desierto, la renuncia sexual, el ayuno y la vida austera emergieron como expresiones de profunda piedad, ...
