A call for a co-editor, which reads: The Journal of Religious History is seeking expressions of interest in the role of co-editor of the Journal to work alongside Dr Celeste McNamara. The new co-editor will take over from Dr Miles Pattenden. The position would run for a three-year period, subject to a one-year probationary period, with potential for renewal for a second three-year term, if so desired. The JRH is published by Wiley and engages an Editorial Manager (Professor Paul Watt) to work on practical matters relating to the Journal, as well as benefiting from support from Wiley staff and an international editorial board. While the position is a voluntary one, the agreement between Wiley and the Religious History Association may allow for limited travel support each year to promote the journal, subject to the approval of the RHA executive committee. The tasks involved in editing JRH vary considerably from week to week some weeks we are only required to answer a few emails, other weeks require a full day's work making decisions on articles and proofreading. On average, each editor probably spends 4-6 hours per fortnight on the role. The main tasks involved are: representing the Journal at appropriate events attending committee meetings of the Religious History Association to report on the JRH working with the Editorial Manager to make initial decisions about sending articles for review keeping the database of reviewers updated making decisions on each article based on the reviewers' recommendations corresponding with authors about these decisions checking revisions for Early View proofreading and approving each issue approving the table of contents selecting an image for the cover shortlisting articles for the annual prize Applications (a letter outlining qualifications, experience and fit with the Journal and Association's general remit, and a brief CV) should be submitted by May 1, 2026, to: Professor Megan Cassidy-Welch mcassidywelch@divinity.edu.au

Guest lecture Prof. John H. Arnold University of Cambridge Firmiter credimus: The Changing Dynamics of Lay Belief Humanistiska teatern 19 March 17:15 Free entry, all are welcome Contact: gustav.zamore@uu.se The Fourth Lateran Council (1215) begins with a statement of faith, 'We firmly believe...' (Firmiter credimus). But what did it mean to ask the laity to believe firmly? This talk addresses not only what medieval people were asked to believe but how they were 'to believe.' It will be argued that the spectre of lay doubt troubled authorities as much as the more famous threat of heresy.

On 19 March 2026, @hfuppsala.bsky.social is hosting a guest lecture by John H. Arnold on lay belief in the middle ages. Free entry, no registration required!

Date/time: 19 March 2026, 5:15pm

The Real Da Vinci Code: The Priest Who Conned the World & The Holy Grail Hoax Imagine being a poor country priest in a tiny, dusty French village. You barely have enough money to fix the roof of your church. Then, overnight, you are inexplicably, fabulously wealthy. You’re building towers, renovating estates, and spending millions. Did you find the lost gold of the Knights Templar? Did you uncover a heretical secret about the bloodline of Jesus Christ? Or did you just pull off one of the greatest scams in religious history? In this episode, we travel to Rennes-le-Château to solve the enduring enigma of Bérenger Saunière. For decades, treasure hunters and conspiracy theorists have claimed Saunière discovered the Holy Grail or the riches of the Cathars. These legends birthed the Priory of Sion hoax and ultimately inspired the global phenomenon of The Da Vinci Code. But the truth? It’s stranger (and pettier) than fiction. We peel back the layers of myths, housekeeper gossip, and forged documents to reveal the forensic reality. We investigate the evidence of "trafficking in masses"—a massive, illegal mail-order scheme that turned a village priest into a millionaire tycoon. Inside this investigation, we uncover: - The Myth: How a local rumor morphed into a global conspiracy involving the Vatican and the Merovingian dynasty. - The Method: The specific financial logistics Saunière used to defraud thousands of believers. - The Cultural Impact: How human psychology prefers a magical lie over a mundane truth. Join us as we debunk the mystery that captivated the world and find out who really paid for that tower. 👇 UNLOCK THE TRUTH: Enjoyed this deep dive into history’s biggest hustles? Follow/Subscribe now so you never miss an episode. If you have a friend who is obsessed with The Da Vinci Code or secret societies, share this episode with them—it might just blow their mind.

Baal wasn’t the Christian God, but he was a cultural template: a model of supreme power, authority over nature, and divine kingship. Christianity fused this with Egyptian, Zoroastrian, and animist ideas to shape the God Christians know today. #AncientInfluence #ReligiousHistory
