Charlemagne, on the left, is in the middle of proudly offering a chest to Pope Leo III. The Pope, however, does not look particularly pleased to receiving this gift; his expression would best be described as "shock and horror."
A long line of people are waiting outside a medieval church. Right next to the line is a robe-clad monk, who is giving everyone his best metaphorical "used car" pitch.
An agitated Leo Allatius holds up a piece of paper. What appears to be Saturn is drawn on it, but it is a little unclear as there is a censorship mosaic imposed over the drawing.
A nonplussed member of the Italian Carabinieri (that is, the gendarmerie of Italy) is taking notes as he speaks to a Catholic priest. The priest is highly agitated, his arms raised and his eyes wide.
The Catholic Church has a long history of using religious relics; the physical remnants of holy figures. But there was no relic quite like the Holy Prepuce.

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

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
