A Critical Engagement with Christopher Watkin’s work Biblical Critical Theory
This year’s seminar will be a culmination of a year-long study of Christopher Watkins’s new work, Biblical Critical Theory. Through a series of invited analyses and an in-person response from Dr. Watkins, the seminar will focus on distilling a proper understanding of Watkins’s arguments and in assisting the university-based academic in making appropriate applications to the academic educational endeavor. For more information, contact Jonathan Arnold ([email protected]) or visit the KLC website (http://kirbylaingcentre.co.uk).
