Biblical Studies and Christian Theology have had productive and tense relationships throughout their shared history. They are ultimately predicated on Scripture which provides the possibility for mutual understanding and cooperation, even though they approach the biblical text with different purposes, questions and presuppositions. Whether or not their future is a shared one, however, is far from clear - at least one beyond sharing a space in an institution. There can be quite often a regionalizing of each discipline so that their insights are rarely engaged with by thinkers in other disciplines. This call for papers looks to identify some of the current trajectories these studies are on, consider how (if at all) they can have a shared future that might be mutually beneficial, and what some of the barriers might be to that future together. It also looks more broadly at insights that have recently been developed within the respective fields that may have yet to be engaged with by their counterparts. Along these lines, S&T maintains a robust commitment to dialogue between various fields and areas of research as a means of spurring constructive and critical engagement for mutually beneficial development.
