Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: We plan three sessions around the theme: “Biblical Text and Human Text: The Bible and Pastoral Care.” Session 1) Book review panel on Grounded in the Living Word: The Old Testament and Pastoral Care Practices by Denise Dombkowski Hopkins and Michael Koppel (Eerdmans, 2010). Session 2) Problematic Biblical and Human Texts. An open call for papers that wrestle with troubling human texts (lived experience) and biblical texts in historical or contemporary perspective. We welcome papers that focus upon the struggle for civil right in the U.S. and around the globe. Session 3) Rediscovering Connections between the Bible and Pastoral Care. An open call for papers that explore the pinch points and possibilities in the relationship between the Bible and pastoral care in local settings, both individual and communal. Bi-vocational religious leaders are especially encouraged to submit paper proposals. Each proposal should include three sample questions that encourage audience participation. Send proposals to: Denise Dombkowski Hopkins at ddhopkins@wesleyseminary.edu and Michael Koppel at mkoppel@wesleyseminary.edu
