CFP: Theology and Religion in Robert A. Heinlein (3/31/07; 7/6/07-7/8/07)
Call for Papers
Robert A. Heinlein Centennial Event and Academic Conference
July 6-8, 2007
Kansas City, MO
Submission deadline: March 31, 2007
We invite abstracts for papers, roundtable discussions, and presentation/lectures on any topic related to the representation of theological and religious matters in the works of novelist and futurist Robert A. Heinlein.
Heinlein achieved fame (or perhaps infamy) with his controversial depictions of various religions, real and imaginary. Was he an atheist, an agnostic, or a true believer whose "impatience with human institutions" forced him to mock the institution while still honoring what it stood for?
