Bible Faculty Summit

Serving the Church

Important BFS 2019 Details

By

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.

One Month Left for Paper Proposals

By

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.

Schedule

Bob Jones University is looking forward to hosting the Bible Faculty Summit. As you arrive on Tuesday, July 31, please check in at the Welcome Center (located just east of the fountain at the front of campus) between 3 and 5 P.M. Dinner will be served at 5:15 P.M. in the Mack Library Periodicals Room (note the new location), and the conference will begin right after dinner in Seminary 113 (another room change). When you check in, you will receive a printed schedule with updated locations.

If you need anything, please feel free to talk to the Welcome Center staff or call Brendon Johnson, Administrative Assistant to the Associate Dean of the School of Religion (office: 864.241.1656; mobile: 864.385.9432).

Papers

Presenters, please send your papers as soon as possible to Mark Ward ([email protected]). Papers can be sent at the last minute before you present, but it would be best if they came in a bit earlier. Your papers will be placed on a password-protected page on the website for attendees to download. Many will follow along on their computers as you read.
