In case you haven’t heard, there is a very excieting event coming up that surely *anyone* connected to the blog will be deeply interested in: a two-day remote Bible conference for non-scholars, called “New Insights into the New Testament,” consisting of ten lectures (each with a live Q&A), on the Life and Letters of Paul, delivered by some of the most highly qualified New Testament scholars in the known universe, in terms accessible to layfolk.  It will be Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 21-22; anyone who comes will get the conference as a recording for life-time use; anyone who wants the recording and can’t come can do that too!  We are nothing if not flexible.

This will be our second annual New Insights Conference.  We had well over 2000 come to the inaugural event last year, and heading into it we weren’t sure how it would be received.  Oh boy was it received well.  The presentations were crisp, clear, and informative, by world-renowned scholars, all of whom know how to communicate serious advances in scholarship in terms that non-scholars can understand.  Tons of participants told us that they came into the event thinking there really wasn’t much “New” they expected to learn ,and came away thinking “Whoa, I was wrong about *that*.”

This year’s will be the same.  I’ve hand-picked the presenters, their topics are interesting, many of them are controversial even among scholars,, and the theme could not be more important for anyone interested in the New Testament.

Moreover, we have expanded what the conference will entail — with extended opportunities for participants to engage with our corps of scholars beyond the lectures and Q&As thenselves.

The conference is not connected with the Blog per se, apart from the facts that the issues are all directly related to what we do here and that I’m the one organizing and moderating the event.
