Between April 14 and 16, 2005, the Department of Religious
Studies sponsored three of its students to attend Syracuse
University's "St Paul Among the Philosophers"
conference--the first in a planned series of biennial conferences
on postmodernism, religion, and culture. Sponsored by Syracuse's
Department
of Religion, the conference attracted a large, national
audience and featured not only US scholars of antiquity/Christian
origins but also such noted European intellectuals as Slavoj
Zizek and Alain
Badiou.

The three students--REL grad and Blount
Junior Fellow, Kim Davis (now pursuing her MA in French
Literature at the University of Alabama), REL/Philosophy
double major Christine Scott (who begins her MA in the Fall
at Georgia State's new Department
of Religious Studies), and Anthropology
major and REL minor Melanie Williams--were asked to return
with some photos that they could share and to provide some
captions.
