medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Greetings to Everyone, especially for those who are now returning home after
the Kalamazoo conference:
We are looking for someone to present a paper on Franciscan Preaching in the
fifteenth century at the 2009 Kalamazoo Conference. We may have already a
paper on Bernardine da Siena and another one on Roberto da Lecce. Is anyone
working on John of Capistrano and would she/he be interested in presenting a
paper next year in Kalamazoo? Is there anyone on the list working on the
sermons of any other Franciscan of the fifteenth century?
Let me know at your earliest convenience.
Thanks,
Steve

Apart from the Anglo-Saxon one in Bristol which is quite different from all
the others I have seen, (we had a thread about that a week or two ago) yes
Adam & Eve are depicted as clothed and AFAIK this shows they are among the
redeemed. Sometime other OT characters can be identified, notably King David
with his crown. I understand the theological point of this is that ALL the
sons and daughters of A & E are redeemed, and not just the Sons of Abraham.
It emphasises the universality of the Atonement.
