CFP: The Inklings and Mere Christianity (3/8/04; no conf. dates noted)
"MERE CHRISTIANS, THEN & NOW"
How do the Inklings define "mere Christianity"? What essential doctrines
do they share in their Christian community? How do they express these
ideas through imaginative literature, philosophy, and theology? How is
"mere Christianity" applicable to contemporary Christianity?
Thematic papers on the essence of Christianity as developed in the
apologetic, theological, and/or literary works of C.S. Lewis and/or the
Inklings are especially welcome. To be eligible for conference acceptance,
complete papers or 250-word abstracts are due by March 8, 2004 (we have
extended our deadline).
Papers and proposals are also invited exploring all aspects of the study
of the life, times, and writings of C.S. Lewis and the other Inklings
(J.R.R. Tolkien, Charles Williams, Owen Barfield, and others).
Undergraduate students are invited to submit papers to be considered for
presentation in designated undergraduate sessions.
Papers on the conference will be considered for a $250 cash award. The
best undergraduate paper will receive a $100 prize. Once notified of
conference acceptance, presenters must submit complete papers by the March
8th deadline, to be eligible for best paper award.
Accepted papers from registered conference participants will be eligible
for publication in an electronic conference proceedings (World Wide Web
