CALL FOR PAPERS for panels at the 2020 meetings of the European Academy of Religion on the topic "Prophets, Prognosticators and the Theo-Logics of Protest" 

"Prophets. The figure and discourse of "the prophet" came to great prominence in relation to protest in the twentieth century, and this association remains strong today. But although prophets figure prominently in the Jewish and Christian Biblical canons, prophets and theological discussion of the prophetic is a comparatively minor theme in the history of Christianity until the 20th century, when it becomes tightly associated with social justice on the one hand and pentecostal theologies on the other. Protest. Social uprisings instigated by protests have catalyzed major social reformation and even revolution, and 2019 has witnessed a surge in popular protest movements around the world. Often protests are conducted by means of relating identity, values, and social structures to claims about what is fundamentally real, right and thus good. And this is theological territory. Of course, religious and theological messages are also quite often explicitly present in protest movements and prominently associated with one another, with protest alternately seen as intrinsic or antithetical to religious faithfulness. Yet, despite this, little direct attention has been given to a theological assessment of protest.
