    Call for Papers

    Southeastern Conference on Christianity and Literature Session at SAMLA
    November 8-10, 2001, in Atlanta

    Session Theme: Words of Grace, Images of Renewal

    Papers suitable for a 15-minute presentation (around 2000 words) are invited
    concerning words and images of grace, renewal, and redemption in literature.
    How are these experiences portrayed in a chosen literary work, several works
    by the same author, or works by different authors? In a broken world, a
    wounded life, what does the way back to hope and healing look like? What
    seems to be the source and outworking of this sort of experience?
    Participants may write on works that seem explicitly or directly Christian
    or on those that do not. In either case, do these literary portrayals
    conform or allude in any way to biblical descriptions or definitions of
    grace, renewal, redemption?

    Though papers on the above theme are encouraged, high-quality papers on
    other topics related to the general relation of Christianity and literature
    are welcome as well.
