2010 WFPS Conference
October 8 - 9
The Fifth Annual Western Fellowship of Professors and Scholars will be held in Manhattan, KS on October 8-9, 2010, Friday afternoon through Saturday early afternoon. Mark Ziese, professor of Old Testament and Archaeology at Cincinnati Christian University and a veteran field archaeologist will be our keynote speaker.
This year's theme is "Slavery: Hermeneutics and Ethics." People are still bought and sold, chained and exploited around the world today. What are Christians doing about it now? What have the people of God done through the ages in response to human bondage? How do we interpret biblical texts that either seem to condone slavery or, on the other hand, those that advocate liberation?
This is a preliminary call for papers and presentations. As usual, papers will be accepted on a wide range of topics that have a bearing on the practice and understanding of the Christian faith, whether they are closely related to the conference theme or not. Works-in-progress and interdisciplinary projects are welcome. Papers dealing with technical matters should be presented in a way that is accessible to an educated and interested audience who may not have specialized training in technical fields.
Please email Mark Alterman or Alicia Caulley with questions.
