The NASSCAL First Fridays online workshop series is a forum for discussing new and in-progress work on apocryphal Christian texts. The workshop meets on the first Friday of every month during the North American Fall and Winter semesters (September, October, November, December, February, March, April, May).
The May 2026 workshop features two presenters as a special online component of the New Research on Christian Apocryphal Literature conference at the University of Virginia. The first presenter is Tony Burke (York University) with “The Life and conduct of John the Baptist: An Unpublished Byzantine Apocryphon,” followed by Cecilia Antonelli (University of Geneva) with “Bartholomew’s Preaching in the Acts and Martyrdom of Bartholomew, or: How to Condense Ancient Christian Classics in Three Speeches and a Prayer.” The workshop takes place via Zoom on May 1 at 12 pm EST.
