2019 Bible Faculty Summit Schedule and Paper Submission Instructions

August 2, 2019 By Mark Ward

The schedule for the 2019 Bible Faculty Summit is below. Please submit papers to info [at] biblefacultysummit [dot] org at your earliest opportunity. Word, PDF, OneDrive, and Google Docs are all acceptable formats. Papers will be posted on a password-protected page on the BFS website.

Remember: several participants have asked that we keep to a stricter schedule this year, in order to give everyone a chance to receive feedback on their papers. Most slots are 45 minutes, so the BFS committee suggests a paper length of approximately 3,600–4,300 words. That should leave 10–15 minutes for discussion after each paper. A timekeeper will hold up a card in the back of the room to indicate when a presenter has five minutes remaining.
