I recently posted the call for papers for the NABPR national meeting, so I thought I would note that my esteemed colleague Tim Brookins is organizing the Southwest regional NABPR meeting that meets in conjunction with the Southwest Regional Conference on Religious Studies (SWCRS)–March 9-10, 2018.
This year the NABPR Southwest conference will be focusing on “Christianity and Culture”. Papers will address the relationship between Christianity and culture at a philosophical level (the nature of cultural “translation,” the implications of the “embeddedness” of Christianity within culture, etc.) and/or a practical level (examining particular interactions between Christians and the surrounding culture in different places and at different times across Christian history).
Put it on your calendar. I know it will be a good event!
P.S. As a reminder, SWCRS proposals are due October 15.
Many thanks to Logos are in order, as the October “free book of the month” is Joseph Fitzmyer’s Romans volume in the Anchor Yale Bible Commentary series. And, as if that were not generous enough, Logos has also made available for cheap Francis Andersen’s Habakkuk volume ($1.99) as well as J. Louis Martyn’s Galatians volume ($2.99), both from the same series. Just scroll down the give-away page to see those two additional offers.
