Scripture and Hermeneutics Seminar

“A Critical Engagement with Oliver O’Donovan’s ‘Ethics As Theology’ Trilogy.” 

This year the Scripture and Hermeneutics Seminar is devoted to building out from its 2002 volume: A Royal Priesthood? The Use of the Bible Ethically and Politically. A Dialogue with Oliver O’Donovan (Scripture and Hermeneutics Series, Volume 3). That volume engaged O’Donovan’s Desire of the Nations. This year, a stellar group of scholars from multiple disciplines will revisit and engage O’Donovan’s ongoing work in a review panel, especially his recent “Ethics as Theology” Trilogy (Self, World and Time; Finding and Seeking; Entering into Rest), with the aim of exploring some new trajectories in contemporary Christian Ethics. For questions or queries, contact the SAHS Chair, Dr. Heath A. Thomas (heath.thomas@okbu.edu), or visit the Tyndale House Scripture Collective website.
