The fourth St Andrews conference on Scripture and Christian Theology will be held at the University of St Andrews from 10-13 July 2012 . Since the first conference on the Gospel of John in 2003, the St Andrews conferences have been recognized as amongst the most important occasions when biblical scholars and systematic theologians are brought together in conversation about a biblical text. With the book of Galatians as our key text, biblical scholars and theologians of the Christian tradition will gather to work out how exegesis and theology meet, critique and inform each other.
The three keynote speakers at the conference are:
Richard Hays, George Washington Ivey Professor of New Testament at Duke Divinity School, Durham, North Carolina
N.T. Wright, Professor of New Testament and Christian Origins, University of St Andrews (St Mary’s College)
Oliver O’Donovan, Professor of Christian Ethics and Practical Theology at the University of Edinburgh (New College)
