 | | Issue 8/1 (1996) collects symposium papers from a 1994 regional meeting of the AAR devoted to "The New Comparativism in the Study of Religion," a symposium which examines the recent proposals of the University of Vermont scholar, William Paden, concerning elements necessary for a post-Eliadean comparative study of religion. |
 | | Finally, issue 8/3 (1996) presents the papers from a session at the 1995 Society of Biblical Literature (SBL) meeting in Chicago: "Ancient Myths and Modern Theories of Christian Origins: A Discussion," with contributions by Merrill P. Miller, Ron Cameron, Burton L. Mack, Jonathan Z. Smith, and John S. Kloppenborg. |
 | | At the 1995 meeting of the AAR these two sessions offered some very interesting topics: seven papers on nineteenth and twentieth century evolutionary theories of religion, in the case of the former, and a panel on the state of critical theory in the AAR, in the case of the latter. |
