Topic for the Year 2012–2013:
PSCO at Fifty: Christian Origins in Retrospect and Prospect
In honor of PSCO’s fiftieth year, we will be taking the
opportunity in 2012-2013 to look back at an eventful half-century of
research in Christian origins and cognate fields, as well as looking
ahead to what the next fifty years might (and should!) hold. We will
begin with an oral history of the PSCO itself (Nov. 8th), followed by a
special SBL session with different PSCO alums reflecting on what
elements in the study of early Christianity have been most
revolutionized in the past 50 years. This will be followed by panels
exploring key themes or topics that have been particularly central to
PSCO's ongoing discussions, as seen through the lens of different
generations of scholars — from PSCO’s founders and “old guard,” to current
Penn and Philly-area graduate students.
