Bible and Practical Theology


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: Bible and Practical Theology will host three sessions. The first session will be an open session: We invite papers on biblical interpretations and practical issues related to aging, including youth, elder care, elder abuse, and intergenerational concerns. The second session will invite papers that engage issues pertaining to the Beyoncé Mass. These papers can address a range of biblical interpretations, theologies of inclusion, issues of intersectionality, and practical approaches to liturgical studies, homiletics, and/or pastoral care. The third session is an invited panel that will interrogate biblical interpretations and their practical application in and for Black churches.
