Budapest, Károli Gáspár University
April 5-6, 2024
will take place a conference on:
"Approaches to the Relationship between Faith and Grace in Early Chistianity and Early Modern Philosophy and Theology"
Please consider participating at this event and propagate the call for those colleagues and doctoral students who may be interested
The organizers are: Dr habil. Ottó Pecsuk (pecsuk.otto@kre.hu) and Dr habil. Miklós Vassányi (vassanyi.miklos@kre.hu)
In due course, the Tübingen publishing house Narr Francke Attempto will publish my comparative concordance where you will be able to find the list of almost all NT terms (over 5.500) and can check, if and where these appear in the precanonical collection of Marcion's New Testament.
The concordance allows for a better understanding of both collections and how best to determine their inter-relations.
From today, the registration and call for papers for the forthcoming conference has been opened. You can register at
home | patristics (oxfordpatristics.com)
Please note the earlier deadline for this call. It is now 31.04.2021 for a publication in early 2022.
