The Catholic University of America Center for the Study of Early Christianity

EARLY CHRISTIAN SEMINAR

The Early Christian Seminar, open to the CUA community and to invited guests, provides faculty and graduates working in the early Christian field an opportunity to meet together to discuss their current work. It is, in particular, an opportunity to fulfill one of the functions of the Center—namely, to encourage communication between scholars working in different disciplines and in different sectors of the University.

Seminars are normally held in 300 McMahon Hall on selected Monday evenings. They begin at 5:15, and are followed by a buffet meal in the Center.
