Описание конференции
-Relationship between faith and biblical scholarship in Church history.
-Is such a thing as ‘confessional’ biblical scholarship (Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant) still possible today?
-The Old Testament and modern science: how should Christians relate to the biblical stories of Creation, the Fall, the Flood, etc. in the light of modern scientific, anthropological, archaeological and other discoveries?
-“Jesus of history” vs. “Christ of faith”: is this opposition still relevant today?
-Academic theology as a means of opposing ‘popular’ scholarship (i.e. sensations spread by the mass media, books and movies like Da Vinci Code etc.).
-Scholarship and tradition: can scholarship save us from damaging features of our own (Christian) traditions?
-Scholarship and fundamentalism: can academic biblical scholarship resist growing fundamentalist tendencies in contemporary Christianity?
