Welcome to the 72nd Annual Meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society

I am very pleased to offer a personal welcome to this annual meeting. Our theme, “Christianity and Islam,” could scarcely be more relevant and urgent. The Christian encounter with Islam can now be traced through a millennium and a half of engagement. As evangelical scholars, our responsibility is to be ever faithful to Christ and ever more truthful in our commitment to the gospel. We are also called to truth, and to understanding the world around us more accurately and thoughtfully. That certainly includes our understanding of Islam, which has from the beginning represented an enormous challenge to Christian evangelism, apologetics, theology, and cultural engagement.

Three evangelical scholars will help us in this task through plenary addresses:Ayman S. Ibrahim, Bill and Connie Jenkins Associate Professor of Islamic Studies and Director of the Jenkins Center for the Christian Understanding of Islam at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, will speak on The Authority and Function of the Quran in Islam.Timothy C. Tennett, President and Professor of World Christianity at Asbury Theological Seminary, will speak on Through the Prism: The Trinity and the Islamic Metanarrative.Thomas S. Kidd, Distinguished Professor of History, James Vardaman Endowed Professor of History, and Associate Director, Institute for Studies of Religion at Baylor University, will speak on American Christians and Islam: From the Colonial Era to the Post-9/11 World.

Another highlight will be the Presidential Address, brought by ETS President Craig S. Kenner, F. M. and Ada Thompson Chair of Biblical Studies at Asbury Theological Seminary who will speak on A Mind for the Body.

I am very thankful for the devoted work of the ETS staff and leadership. As planning for this meeting began, Michael Thigpen was our Executive Director, and we are thankful for his years of commitment and service. Our new Executive Director, Ken Magnuson is providing excellent leadership for a new era. Bonnie Thigpen, our Meeting Planner, is indispensable. Together, they have demonstrated remarkable commitment and skill in a very difficult season.

As always, we look forward to the presentation of hundreds of other papers and the meeting together of evangelical scholars as the Evangelical Theological Society – every word in that name is significant. We are a society, and it distresses us that we cannot be physically together for this annual meeting. We will miss the social dimension of meeting together in one city for several event-filled days. But, I am very thankful for the technology that will enable us to meet together in a different mode. It is no small thing that we are able to hold an annual meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society in the midst of a pandemic. This challenge adds further urgency to our meeting.

I want to encourage you to take full advantage of the ability to participate fully in the meeting by digital means. The work of evangelical scholarship goes on, and so must we. Engage with energy, learn with eagerness, encourage younger scholars, support our sponsors, connect and converse as best you can, and help us make history together. We will not meet together in Providence, Rhode Island this year, but we will be meeting by the gracious providence of God. For that, we are thankful.

Sincerely,R. Albert Mohler, Jr.ETS President-Elect and Program ChairPresident and Professor of Christian TheologyThe Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

Virtual Annual Meeting DetailsThe 2020 ETS Annual Meeting will be held November 16-20, with pre-recorded paper presentations available for viewing beginning Monday, November 9th. Watch the presentations at your convenience and then join the live sessions starting on Monday, November 16th. There are 2 types of live sessions: full length sessions, as well as shorter Q&A sessions for the pre-recorded papers. All of the live portions of the conference will be recorded and available for viewing after the meeting has ended.

Conference Registration

Registration is available at www.etsjets.org/registration_landing. If you need assistance or have questions about conference registration, please email [email protected].

Parallel sessions

The parallel sessions are composed of five different session types.

P︎ Program Unit Sessionsare a combination of invited papers and proposed presentations which were selected by the program unit steering committees. ETS has three types of program units: Consultations, Study Groups, and Sections. Consultations are new program units which are responsible for one session of invited papers at the annual meeting. Study Groups are narrowly focused groups which require active, collaborative participation by the group members. ETS encourages Study Groups to publish the results of their work. Study groups are responsible for one session of invited papers at the annual meeting. Sections are broadly defined groups that represent general areas of interest. Responsible for one session of invited papers and one session of papers drawn from member submissions, the Sections offer the most access for unsolicited papers.

A Affiliated Society Sessionsfeature presentations that were selected and arranged by one of the three societies which join ETS each year: the Evangelical Philosophical Society, the Near East Archaeological Society, and the Adventist Theological Society.

D Discipline Specific Sessionsare composed of presentations that were submitted by ETS members and rated by a panel of scholars who served under the direction of the program chair. These presentations have been grouped into basic disciplines: Old Testament, New Testament, Systematic Theology, Church History/Historical Theology, and Practical Theology.

T Theme Sessionsare composed of presentations submitted by members, which address the conference theme. These presentations were evaluated by a panel of scholars under the direction of the program chair. The theme presentations have been arranged into cohesive sessions based on texts, topics, and methods.
