Minorities and Freedom in the Middle East: Biblical, Theological, and Socio-Political Perspectives

The Middle Eastern Christianity Unit invites paper proposals for a co-sponsored session focusing on minorities and freedom in the Middle East from biblical, theological, socio-political or other disciplinary perspectives. We welcome papers focusing on Middle Eastern Christians in their homelands or in the diaspora in any historical period and/or papers comparing Middle Eastern and other Eastern Christian experiences.
