"CUA STUDIES in EARLY CHRISTIANITY"

This series, published in conjunction with the Catholic University of America Press, is designed to present collections of essays built tightly around a single theme. Volumes need not be connected with a specific occasion, but the Editorial Board will consider selections of conference papers, as also essays in honor of a distinguished scholar. Editors are either approved or appointed by the Editorial Board.

Submissions

Phase 1: Anyone wishing to edit, sponsor, or suggest a volume should first contact the General Editor, Philip Rousseau. A preliminary and conditional commitment will be made at that time.

Phase 2: Before final confirmation of the project by the Editorial Board, prospective editors will be asked to supply

1. A brief description of the book's unifying theme and rationale (500 words or less)
2. A list of contributors and chapter titles, with short descriptions (50 words or less each)
3. A specimen chapter

Phase 3: Editors are thereafter responsible for supplying completed copy in Chicago Manual style, which the General Editor will then forward to the Press with an accompanying letter of supportive comment.

Phase 4: The Press will then approve or reject the work in the light of its own readers' reports.
