Subject: CFP: Resurrecting the "First Five Hundred": The Church Fathers in
Early Modern England
In his "Challenge Sermon" delivered at St. Paul's Cross on November 26, 1559,
Bishop John Jewel argued that the Church Fathers were the true architects of the
Christian religion and that the English people would no longer be subjected to
the sort of medieval tampering that had led the one true Church astray. "The
first five hundred years of the church," he would argue, "are worth more than
the whole thousand that followed afterward." For this collection, we are seeking
essays that address the topic of the Church Fathers in early modern English
culture. Topics addressed may include (but will not be limited to) the
rhetorical, political, ethical, and material uses of the Church Fathers and the
influence of the Fathers on education, rhetoric, science, philosophy, philology,
the stage, book production, devotional and polemical writing, women and writing,
the body, colonialist discourse, and the rise of capitalism.
Please address queries to the collection's editors, Mitchell Harris
