Conferences - Call for Proposals: SCE/Society of Biblical Literature

“Spirit, Scripture, Ethics:  Pneumatological Engagements with Knotty Ethical Issues”
 
The SCE will host two sessions at the Society of Biblical Literature in 2011 (Nov. 19-22 in San Francisco) under the title “Spirit, Scripture, Ethics:  Pneumatological Engagements with Knotty Ethical Issues.” The first session will be comprised of invited papers. For the second session, we invite proposals for pneumatological explorations of the intersection of Scripture and ethics. The primary focus may be either methodological or substantive. The topic may be approached from the side of either biblical studies or Christian ethics, but must foster conversation across the disciplinary boundaries. Each paper must give attention to the entailments of its argument for one particular ‘knotty’ ethical issue. Please email proposals or inquiries to sceatsbl@gmail.com. Proposals are due by March 11, and can be submitted using the proposal form attached, or by providing that same data in the body of an email. Because we are an affiliate program unit, SCE members are eligible to attend SBL at the member rate.
 
The proposals will be reviewed by the board-appointed committee which plans SCE/SBL sessions. The members of this committee include Brent Laytham (chair), Diane Yeager, Allen Verhey and Michael Cartwright.
 
Acceptance of your proposal for the SCE/SBL session has no bearing upon your eligibility to present at the SCE Annual Meeting in Washington, January 2012.  
 
Questions should be directed to Brent Laytham.
