 This looks like a fascinating conference; here are the details:
Call for Papers: Genesis and Christian Theology
14-18 July 2009
St Mary’s College, University of St Andrews
The University of St Andrews is pleased to announce its third conference on
Scripture and Christian Theology. Since the first conference on the Gospel
of John in 2003, the St Andrews conferences have been recognized as one of
the most important occasions when biblical scholars and systematic
theologians are brought together in conversation about a biblical text. The
conferences aim to cut through the megaphone diplomacy or the sheer
incomprehension that so often marks attempts to communicate across our
disciplines. We invite you then to join us and some of the best theological
and biblical minds in careful and often lively interaction about one of the
most theologically generative of biblical books: the book of Genesis.
We are now calling for papers that integrate close readings of Genesis with
Christian theology. While we are particularly interested in explorations of
the dynamic relationship between Genesis and Christian doctrine, we also
welcome proposals that combine careful reading of the text of Genesis with
theological attention to art, creativity, ecology, ethics, the history of
interpretation, or Jewish and Christian dialogue.
The call for paper proposals closes on 15 March 2009. Please visit our
website for further details or to submit a proposal:
