Crux Sola: Formed by Scripture to Live like Christ
The British NT Conference will meet this year in Aberdeen (3-5 Sept). They have a nice new website (www.bnts.org.uk). There are 10 seminar groups and the website archives paper titles and abstracts from previous years.
For 2009, several groups have posted paper titles/abstracts. See here and here (the second page, ‘short papers’, is like a wild-card group).
In the Paul group there is one joint session with the Hermeneutics group where Philip Esler, Francis Watson, and Peter Oakes will all discuss the question: Does Romans Need Addressees? Angus Paddison will be a respondent.
The Plenary speakers’ paper titles have been confirmed:
- Dr Helen Bond
-
University of Edinburgh‘Josephus on Herod the Great, Domestic Intrigue, and the Politics of First Century Judaea’
- Prof David Parker
-
University of Birmingham‘Variants and variance’
- Dr Todd Klutz
-
University of Manchester‘Jesus, Morton Smith, and the Eighth Book of Moses (PGM XIII.1-734)’
NB: I will be giving two papers this year; one in the hermeneutics seminar on mirror-reading moral discourses in NT epistles. Also, I will be giving a paper in the ‘Simultaneous Short Papers’ group on Paul’s use of oiktirmos in Romans 12.1 and the ‘mercy’ literary tradition in the LXX and Hellenistic Judaism.
