Society for the Arts in Religious and Theological Studies (SARTS) 2003 Meeting

The newly formed Society for the Arts in Religious and Theological Studies (SARTS) will be having its first annual meting on the Friday evening and Saturday morning before the opening of the 2003 AAR/SBL meeting in Atlanta. This group is implicitly Christian, aiming to focus on the intersections of art and theological study. This focus is not meant to exclude persons who study the arts in other faith traditions, but rather to provide a venue for those who want to pursue an important conversation about interdisciplinary teaching (research/writing) in confessional contexts (e.g., seminaries, divinity schools, religion departments in denominational colleges, etc.). In this way, SARTS does not duplicate the focus of the Arts, Literature, and Religion Section of the American Academy of Religion, which tends to focus on the more secular and academic study of the arts in popular culture. For information about the group and its 2003 meeting, see this web site: http://www.artsmag.org/society.htm.
