Bible and Practical Theology


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: We invite paper proposals for two open sessions and one themed. Open Session: We invite papers on any issue emerging out of the intersections of biblical interpretation and practical theology (liturgy, formation, education, administration, pastoral care, and public theology) that encourages relational and interactive readings of both human situations and biblical texts. Themed Session: We invite papers that engage biblical texts and practical theology that focus on violence and strategies for healing. We are interested in papers that address violence in general and against marginalized communities (e.g., violence against women, LGBTQ communities, minority faiths, races, ethnicities, etc.). For all sessions, interdisciplinary collegial presentations are encouraged but not required.
