OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

This paper will query the extent to which the True Religion Apologies of the Jacobite theologian Abū Rāʾiṭa al-Takrītī (d. c. 835) and Nestorian theologian ʿAmmār al-Baṣrī (d. after 838) offer a coherent understanding of the relationship between religion and coercive force. Attention is given both to the ‘true religion’ apologies themselves, and also, concerning Abū Rāʾiṭa, to his “Refutation of the Melkites Concerning the Union” (III).
