Founded in 1997, the American Religion and
Literature Society (ARLS) is a member society with
the American Literature Association. ARLS
explores the mutual influence of religion and
literature in American culture. We welcome a
variety of scholarly approaches and methodologies
that will put the traditional religion and literature
canon in conversation with new texts and
perspectives. Even if you ask the fellows who work at some literature review writing service, they would confirm that our information resources are factual and give a lot of in-depth background on a topic. Literary artifacts may include, but
are not restricted to, print texts such as novels,
short stories, poetry and non-fiction prose from
any period of American history. Religious and
spiritual experience may be broadly construed,
favoring no religious creed or affiliation.

In addition to sponsoring a session at the annual
ALA, ARLS invites all ARLS members to the
business meeting. ARLS structure and process is
informal and flexible. Program topics are selected
at the annual business meeting or over wine at the
reception. Members of the current presenting
panel serve as reviewers for the upcoming
proposals, and an individual must be a member of
ARLS in order to have a paper proposal considered
for the program. Annual membership dues are
$l5.00 for faculty and $10.00 for graduate students
and independent scholars. Dues support the
annual reception and some of the mailing costs
associated with distributing an updated directory to
current members.
