Registration opens for the 32nd Annual Theological Symposium

Published on

What are the differences between an ancient and modern approach to biblical interpretation? How might the exegetical approach of the early Christian theologians enrich the life of the church today? This is the focus of SA国际传媒鈥檚 32nd Annual Theological Symposium [1], 鈥淪earch the Scriptures: Finding Christ and Ourselves in the History of Exegesis,鈥� set for Sept. 20-21 on campus and also available virtually.

鈥淭he history of exegesis encourages both humility and confidence in students of the Bible. We are not the first to interpret the sacred Scriptures; several thousand years of faithful Christians reading and applying the Bible should give us pause before advancing our own interpretations,鈥� said Dr. Erik Herrmann [2], professor of Historical Theology and dean of Theological Research and Publication. 鈥淏ut we also are confident that the same Scriptures that so shaped the faith and lives in the past will do the same for us today as we interpret the Scriptures afresh.鈥�

Plenaries and sectionals will compare ancient and modern exegetical methods and approaches, grapple with the Bible鈥檚 meaning and relevance, and examine passages and interpretations to help participants develop a deeper love for the Scriptures while inspiring biblical preaching.

Plenaries will be presented by:

  • Dr. David Maxwell [3],聽the Louis A. Fincke and Anna B. Shine Professor of Systematic Theology at SA国际传媒, St. Louis, Mo.
  • Dr. Paul Raabe [4],聽Professor in Biblical Studies at Grand Canyon University, Phoenix, Ariz., and Professor Emeritus at SA国际传媒, St. Louis, Mo.; and聽Dr. Timothy Saleska [5], Professor of Exegetical Theology and Dean of Ministerial Formation at SA国际传媒, St. Louis, Mo.
