Seminars & Workshops
The MLitt main seminar provides opportunity for high-level discussion on the meeting of biblical studies and theology. We realise this cannot happen without the flourishing of the biblical studies and theology seminars (and conceivably the CSRP and ITIA seminars).
MLitt and PhD students working in our area will be encouraged to attend at least one of these, so that their biblical-theological endeavours can be informed by papers on e.g. text criticism/philosophical theology. As it happens some of the recent seminar papers have been ‘up our street’—Phil Ziegler’s ‘Eschatological Dogmatics’, Francis Watson’s ‘Reception of Albert Schweitzer in English’, Walter Moberly’s ‘Interpret the Bible Like any other Book? Requiem for an Axiom ‘.
IBTH does not have a weekly seminar, therefore, but has four or five events per semester, and aims to bring staff and students from different subdisciplines together.
