The Conference on Christianity and Literature is an interdisciplinary society dedicated to exploring the relationships between Christianity and literature. Organized formally in 1956, CCL is dedicated to both scholarly excellence and collegial exchange and includes hundreds of members from a variety of academic institutions and religious traditions from the United States, Canada, and more than a dozen other countries.\n\nThe Conference publishes a journal, Christianity and Literature, which appears quarterly. Each issue includes scholarly articles, book reviews, news items, and poetry. CCL also has begun publishing a monograph series with Baylor University Press called Studies in Christianity and Literature. This series will publish peer-reviewed, scholarly manuscripts that explore the complex relationship between Christianity and literature and enhance the larger academic conversation about the role of religion in cultural life. The books to appear in the series will be sensitive to historical contexts, alert to theoretical implications, and informed by theological concerns.
