BFS 2019 is a month away, and our hosts at International Baptist College and Seminary need to make sure they have an accurate head count. So please do register below if you have not done so already.

(If you’re not certain if you’ve registered, please contact Mark Ward at [email protected]. Also, Becky Stertzbach of IBCS may contact you for additional details.)

Note: 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 reminder: the Bible Faculty Summit has issued a formal call for papers for the 2019 Summit. The paper proposal period ends Tuesday, April 30, 2019. The committee has received a number of proposals already, but more are welcome.

Note: the BFS committee has put together a new series of Paper Proposal Guidelines which are available here.

A few other notes:

• The Summit committee has not established a theme: we want to hear what you are working on.
• Your paper need not be completed till 24 hours prior to your delivering it on Aug 6–Aug 8, at International Baptist College and Seminary in Chandler, AZ.
• This year we will again have a publications committee working to help the best papers get published.

If you have a paper proposal which might lend itself well to a response from another participant, please contact Mark Ward.
