The Christian Theology and Bible Section is organizing three paper sessions around the topic of 'Life in the Spirit,' which will explore Jesus' experience of life lived in the Spirit and the ways in which our own experience of life in the Spirit may have been akin to his. Two of these sessions will present papers by invitation only, while the third will be an open session focusing on Galatians and Colossians.
Session 1: Jesus’ life as lived by the Spirit, or the Spirit in Jesus’ life. (Jesus' experience of the Spirit, and how it might have been akin to our own.)
Papers by Invitation only
Session 2: Christological Controversies surrounding Nicea in light of Jesus' (and others') experience of the Spirit
Papers by Invitation only
Session 3: The Spirit in Galatians and Colossians
We welcome papers on the Spirit in Galatians or the Spirit in Colossians, especially those that pertain to Jesus' experience of the Spirit and how it might have been akin to our own.
