The SCRIPTURE&THEOLOGY-FORUM invites responses to Frances Young's two-volume work, "Doctrine and Scripture in Early Christianity". This "Author Meets Critique" panel provides an opportunity for scholars to engage with Young's influential study on the interrelation of doctrine and Scripture in the early church.
We seek submissions that not only critically assess Young's historical and theological contributions but also explore how her findings can foster deeper engagement between Scripture and theology today, particularly in terms of theological methodology. Key areas of interest in this context include:
• How does Young's methodological approach illuminate the interaction between doctrine and Scripture in early Christian thought?
• In what ways can her work inspire contemporary theological reflection, especially on the role of Scripture in doctrinal development?
• How can Young's research inform theological methods in engaging Scripture today, both within systematic theology and biblical studies?
Submissions should aim to offer constructive and critical reflections on Young's work while also proposing how her insights can contribute to ongoing conversations at the intersection of Scripture and theology.
While Frances Young may only be able to join the panel online due to personal circumstances, presentations by proxy are not permitted. Additionally, papers for pre-reading must be submitted by May 15; late submissions will not be considered.
We encourage submissions from scholars at all career stages and from a diversity of disciplines.
