A part of what makes REL the place to be is that our professors lead many initiatives within the educational examine of faith.
This fall our personal Prof. Richard Newton is launching a brand new program known as Off-Script to strengthen the important comparative examine of scriptures.
Off-Script is a month-to-month Zoom occasion that brings collectively graduate college students {and professional} students on this specific space of examine. The discussion board provides an opportunity to workshop analysis concepts, have interaction in skilled growth, and community.
Prof. Newton is kicking issues off with a presentation known as “Vital Comparative Scriptures: Introducing You and Your Subfield.”
This discuss builds on his latest article, “Revisiting Scriptures: Unbinding a Vital Comparative Subfield” in Faith Compass and gestures towards his present undertaking, A Vital Introduction to the Research of Scriptures (in growth with Routledge). For future months, he already has some students wanting to current.
Newton says that he and his colleagues have been musing about an internet gathering like this for a while. He determined that there’s no time like the current to make this occur. “To me it’s a a lot wanted experiment. We’re seeing that there’s a small important mass of students on this work. Let’s get these of us collectively and see what occurs.” When requested what excites him essentially the most, he replied, “That’s a simple one! It’s the concept of cross-generational dialog. I get a thrill from seeing the registration types of PhD college students subsequent to senior students noting that they’re fascinated by speaking to the opposite.”
In case you’re fascinated by collaborating, the primary assembly 12pm -1pm on Friday August 30 on Zoom. Register at sowingtheseed.org/off-script to get the hyperlink. E mail Prof. Newton if in case you have questions or wish to study extra.
