SATS e-Conference 2025: Abstracts Due Soon!

An interpreter’s hermeneutical approach flows from their posture toward the biblical text. Following the surge of higher critical methodologies in the 20th century, the hermeneutical landscape has been marked by a recent rise in ideological criticisms, cultural relativism, and reader-response approaches. Such reading strategies have resulted in biblical analyses that place the reader at the center of interpretation, thereby giving them authority over the sacred text. Click here for more info. Abstract submissions are due by 27 September 2024.
