gopher://ccat.sas.upenn.edu:70/00/journals/PSCO/
Organized on October 8, 1963, when 16 teachers of biblical and early church studies from the Philadelphia area gathered at the University of Pennsylvania at the invitation of Robert A. Kraft (University of Pennsylvania) and John H. P. Reumann (Lutheran Theological Seminary, Philadelphia). It was decided that the subject matter should vary from year to year, and should be technical in nature, geared for those with academic, specialized interests in the period of Christian origins. Participating membership in the Seminar is open primarily to persons with advanced training in the subject, especially those who teach at a college or seminary level, although other interested persons may be invited at the discretion of the members. Regularly scheduled meetings are held bi-monthly throughout the academic year, with occasional additional special meetings when circumstances dictate. Since its inception, the Seminar has had support from the Department of Religious Studies of the University of Pennsylvania, and more recently, from the Humanities Coordinating Committee at the University. It now holds most meetings in Williams Hall at the University. At the time of our survey files include: Origen's Commentary on the Gospel of John; Creation -- Images Old and New; Early Christianity in North America; and, Origen's Contra Celsum.
