The 2008 Conference on Bible and Justice will bring together scholars from around the world to explore how the ancient texts of the Bible can play an active role in addressing twenty-first century social concerns. The purpose of the conference is to foster discussion about the relevance of the Bible to modern social issues, and promote bridges between the academic field of biblical studies and the various endeavours for a just world.
And cut out the many centuries of the Church’s experience on this subject, I suppose? Don’t we need the Church to open the bible up to us? Is biblical studies premised on denial of this?
