Why Authentic Doctrines Aren’t Freestanding
Doctrine needs to respond to a question that arises and demands an answer. If it’s a freestanding assertion, it loses connection with its life context.

Annually, the St. George’s Centre for
Biblical and Public Theology sponsors three seminars at SBL: Scripture and
Church, Scripture and
Doctrine, and Scripture and
Hermeneutics (in partnership with the Institute for
Biblical Research). Registration is now open for
these seminars’ 2017 meetings in Boston, as well as for the accompanying
dinner. The lectures and discussion are always quite stimulating.
