Teaching Biblical Studies in an Undergraduate Liberal Arts Context


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: This section explores the opportunities and challenges of teaching biblical studies in undergraduate liberal arts institutions. We invite proposals for a session on Biblical Studies and AAC&U LEAP Essential Learning Outcomes from those who have already participated in addressing the LEAP Essential Learning Outcomes, those currently in the process, or those who anticipate taking part in the process in the near future. We also invite proposals for an open session devoted to "Biblical Studies and -- " (Fill in the blanks in various ways, such as "skills development," "location," "performing arts," or "film studies.") In the proposal, outline the rationale, challenges, opportunities, strengths, and weaknesses of the approach as they apply to a specific example in your own teaching context. Handouts and engaged presentation styles are welcome. This section will also have a session devoted to "Biblical Studies and Art" in association with the Biblical Art program unit, with contributions from a panel of invited scholars.
