Proposals for papers to be presented at the Theology Conference are being accepted. This Call for Papers goes out to established scholars or practitioners in the theological and scientific disciplines, as well as to graduate students, post-docs, and pre-tenured faculty.
In line with the topic of Dr. Keesmaat’s lectures, we invite submission of high quality papers on any topic related to the broad theme of “Creation Care and Justice.” We welcome papers from the theological or the scientific side, especially those that explore intersections of a biblical-theological vision with issues in science. Papers should be scholarly but not highly specialized presentations of about 25 minutes, aimed at an audience of students, pastors, and faculty from across the spectrum of theological and scientific disciplines.
Proposals should be approximately 250 words in length. The best proposals articulate a clear thesis and include a brief explanation of their plan (and/or method). Please prepare them for blind review and submit as an email attachment, accompanied by a short curriculum vitae or resume in a separate file. To facilitate anonymous review of proposals, please include your name, institutional affiliation, contact information, and the title of your proposal in the body of your email.
All proposals should be submitted electronically as file attachments in *DOC or *PDF format to the address below. Please title your email “Creation Care and Justice.” Please email conference paper proposals to Dr. Patrick Franklin at pfranklin@tyndale.ca by September 27, 2024. Papers chosen for participation will be notified by October 4, 2024.
Graduate students, post-docs, and pre-tenured faculty are invited to submit finished papers that address biblical interpretation by September 20 (full draft due by October 4) for the Jack and Phyllis Middleton Award for Excellence in Bible and Theology.
