ETS Presentation

I received the happy news this morning that my proposasl for a paper at ETS in Boston has been accepted. Here is the title and the abstract. I'll probably post the full paper in a few months.

THEOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION OF SCRIPTURE:

REFLECTIONS FROM AN EVANGELICAL BIBLICAL STUDIES PERSPECTIVE

The Theological Interpretation of Scripture (TIOS), focusing on the importance of the hermeneutical significance of the canon and reading the Bible in a theological manner, has been gaining popularity recently, giving rise to a variety of articles, books, and commentaries. But there has been little reflection from evangelical biblical scholars. Should evangelicals embrace TIOS? Should it cause them concern? This paper will give a short history of TIOS, present the beneficial aspects of TIOS for evangelical biblical scholars, discuss some potentially unbalanced directions taken by some TIOS advocates, and briefly evaluate the recent TIOS commentaries in the Brazos and Two Horizons series from the perspective of evangelical biblical studies.
