The Global Center for Religious Research (GCRR) is hosting the 2021 International eConference on the Historical Jesus, which will bring together historians, philosophers, specialists, and scholars from all over the world to discuss the latest in historical Jesus research. The purpose of this multidisciplinary virtual conference is to advance the socio-political, historical, hermeneutical, and philosophical understanding of the historical Jesus. This two-day conference will provide an interdisciplinary platform for scholars, educators, and practitioners to present their research to international audiences from all different backgrounds. And because the virtual conference is held online, scholars and students can attend from the comfort and safety of their own home without having to worry about travel and lodging expenses.
Call for Presenters!
Specialists, philosophers, researchers, professors, graduate students, and practitioners are encouraged to submit abstract proposals (200-500 words) to present at this year’s international academic conference. All research presentations will then be published in an upcoming supplemental issue of the peer-reviewed academic journal, Socio-Historical Examination of Religion and Ministry (SHERM). Presenters can also feature and promote their own publications during the conference for free!
ABSTRACT PROPOSAL DEADLINE: June 15th, 2021
Presentation Guidelines
Presentations can take any number of forms, including hosting a discussion panel, interviewing a specialist, presenting a research paper, teaching a classroom lesson, or leading a workshop. Presenters can even video record their presentation outside of the event, rather than host a live session, and then have GCRR show that video recording to conference attendees. Regardless of the format, we ask that presenters adhere to the following stipulations:
Time length for lectures, paper presentations, and classroom lessons:
between 20-45 minutes
Time length for discussion panels, interviews, and workshops:
between 20-90 minutes
All presentations (except for pre-recorded presentations) will require at least a 30-minute Q&A session at the end for attendees to engage the presenter.
Presenters must be members of the GCRR Academic Society
Cost of Attendance for Presenters
All academic presenters need to be current members of the GCRR Academic Society, but presenter
s do not need to purchase a ticket to the academic conference itself. Presenters will receive a free ticket to the entire event. The following are the only costs associated with presenting at the conference:
