Busy Week

This week has been busy for me in and outside of the office.  Next week I will be heading toward Fort Wayne, Indiana to attend Symposia, a theological conference on exegetical and systematic topics that are at issue in todays world.  This years topics are  In Search of Jesus: Why History Matters and  Justification in a Contemporary Context.  I'm looking forward to the second topic especially, because of the ease that people have discussing topics like Justification online.  Click on Symposia for more information.  A short list of the speaker is listed here.

The theme for the 27th annual Exegetical Theology Symposium, January 17-18, is In Search of Jesus: Why History Matters. Main speakers include Richard Bauckham of Cambridge, England; Daniel Johansson of Gothenburg, Sweden; as well as Dr. David Scaer, Dr. Charles Gieschen and other CTS professors.

The 35th annual Symposium on the Lutheran Confessions has chosen Justification in a Contemporary Context as its theme and will take place January 18-20, under the sponsorship of the Department of Systematic Theology. Speakers scheduled to participate include Dr. Jack Kilcrease, Adjunct Professor of Theology and Humanities at Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, Michigan; Dr. Erik M. Heen, John H.P. Reumann Chair in Biblical Studies, The Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia; along with Prof. Roland Ziegler and other members of the CTS faculty.

Because of this trip, this week and next week are dedicated to getting other things done, but hopefully afterwards I'll have more time to post again.
