Description

Revolving around the theme of "Preaching Texts in Early England," this session includes papers about not only homilies and sermons in a specific sense but also preaching and related subjects beyond traditional generic boundaries. Furthermore, the title affords the play of double meaning, indicating texts related to preaching as well as ways of thinking about preaching conceptually—and the interplay between these ideas. In addition to attention to sermons and homilies, papers will also feature examinations of the Eucharist, theology, prayer, liturgy, and politics. (Brandon W. Hawk)
