Tyndale House Invitation: The study
groups for the Tyndale Fellowship are meeting over
7-11 July 2008 at Tyndale
House in
Cambridge,
UK. The New Testament study group is
meeting
from 7-9 July and the topic for this year is:
Perspectives on Peter: Peter and
the
Petrine Writings in History, Tradition, and Theology. This study group is
open to all aspects
of "Peter" within the New Testament (and early
Christianity). Potential topics include the
portrayal of Peter in the Gospels,
Acts, Pauline corpus; historical issues concerned with
Peter (in Acts, behind
Mark, Antioch Incident etc.); any aspect of 1 and 2 Peter; issues
relating to
the reception of Mark as Peter's memoirs, the canonical reception of 1 & 2
Peter, etc. Those interested in proposing a paper for the New Testament group
should
contact Michael Bird (michael.bird@uhi.ac.uk) with a one paragraph
proposal.
Request for Assistance: 'Following on from his recent book on
British Brethren history, Gathering to His
Name, Dr Tim Grass, Associate Tutor in Church History at Spurgeon's
College, London, has been asked to write a biography of the Scottish biblical
scholar F.F. Bruce (1910-90). He would be delighted to hear
from anyone with relevant
recollections, letters, copies of obscure articles, photographs, or manuscript
material, and to learn about the impact which Bruce and his writings made on the
lives of so many in various parts of the world.
He would also like to know if
you are willing to be interviewed regarding your recollections of
Bruce, probably by e-mail unless you happen to be visiting the UK! Please
contact him at:
grass.family@tesco.net.'
