Program Unit Type: Consultation
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: We invite papers on the following topics: 1. It Takes Two: Interdisciplinary Co-Presentations on the Bible and Pastoral Theology Participants are encouraged to team up with a colleague in a different discipline to discuss the intersections between Bible and liturgy, preaching, administration, pastoral care, or Christian formation/education, etc. 2. What’s God Got to Do with It?: Bible, Pastoral Theology, and Politics Mindful of our meeting in Chicago after the presidential election, we encourage participants to reflect on the intersections between the use of the Bible in political discourse and the public dimensions of pastoral theology. Possible topics include globalization, immigration, class conflict, etc. 3. Close Encounters of a Pedagogical Kind: Pastoral Theology or Bible in the classroom and the Church. Participants are invited to put on their teaching hats and consider the dynamics that emerge in the classroom and the Church during encounters with the Bible and with the reality of human stories.
