ALT For 2026, the Paul seminar will host three sessions. Paul within Paganism: Restoring the Mediterranean Context to the Apostle This session will focus on the recent volume Paul within Paganism: Restoring the Mediterranean Context to the Apostle (Fortress, 2025), edited by Alexander Chantziantoniou, Paula Fredriksen, and Stephen L. Young. We invite papers that engage this volume directly, whether by engaging its methodological proposals, critically responding to its arguments, or interacting substantively with individual essays. Divine Christology in Paul’s letters This session will extend the Paul within Paganism conversation by examining questions of divine Christology in Paul’s letters. We seek papers that situate Pauline Christology within the broad landscape of ancient Mediterranean religion and that address related issues such as monotheism and monolatry, divine identity, cultic practice, and cosmology. Open Session The final session is open to any proposals
