Call for Papers: Histories of the End

August 31, 2011 By James F. McGrath Leave a Comment

Via Deane Galbraithe:

Call for papers: Histories of the End

In 2012 Relegere will publish a special issue dedicated to reception histories of the end times, however they might be imagined, in religious contexts. We welcome reception histories not only of Christian imaginaries of the book of Revelation, but also of the end of days in other traditions and in more diffuse settings such as the Western esoteric and New Age milieus.

If you are interested in submitting to Relegere’s “Histories of the End,” please send an abstract of a maximum of 300 words to editors@relegere.org by December 1, 2011. The issue will appear in December 2012.

The CFP as a pdf file.
