The Bible Faculty Summit is issuing a formal call for papers for the 2021 Summit, to be held Faith Bible Bible College and Theological Seminary in Ankeny, Iowa, from Tuesday, July 27 through Thursday, July 29, 2020. The paper proposal period will end Friday, April 30, 2021.

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

A few other notes:

• The Summit committee, as usual now, 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, but we do ask that you read a paper.
• 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.

One additional note: Brett Williams, Provost at Central Baptist Theological Seminary, is now taking the Bible Faculty Summitt Steering Committee slot long held so faithfully and energetically by Jeff Straub. Thank you, Jeff, for years of excellent service! And thank you, Brett, for stepping in to help!

Friends,

I pray you are well and have been able to serve Christ and your schools during this unprecedented time.

Faith Baptist Bible College has had to decline to host the 2020 Bible Faculty Summit, though they are planning to host in 2021. The BFS Committee thinks it best to keep our options open at this point. We don’t know what the situation will be like in late July. We are looking into other potential venues for housing the summit, including a Christian retreat center and a church that has offered its premises (both are on the East Coast). Alternatively, if a face-to-face meeting proves impossible in God’s good providence, we may hold a one-day conference through Zoom.

So please continue to send in your paper proposals; the proposal period ends Thursday, April 30. Use the buttons below.
