With an emphasis on textual criticism, the 2nd St Andrews Graduate Conference for Biblical and Early Christian Studies is aimed at graduate students and early career scholars. Contributors are welcomed from the following fields of research: Old Testament / Hebrew Bible,
Pseudepigrapha & Dead Sea Scrolls, New Testament and Early Christianity.

There is a plenary speaker for each of these sections:
Prof. Kristin de Troyer (St Andrews)

We will also have a special invited lecture from Dr. Grant Macaskill

Peter, we're hosting our Biblical Studies conference just two days earlier at the University of Birmingham on texts and reception history. Might we make a post out of this as well? Thanks.

The membership of this blog is made up of evangelicals involved in academic study of textual criticism. Those with appropriate expertise and theological convictions who wish to be considered for membership should contact Peter Head or Tommy Wasserman. Those applying for membership must indicate that they have read either the OT or the NT in its original language(s), should be actively involved in text-critical research, and should be already contributing to the blog through comments. They should give e-mail details of an academic and a pastoral referee, a summary of their academic and/or ministry involvement, a statement of their doctrinal commitment (which may be by reference to various classic evangelical statements of faith, e.g. 39 Articles, Westminster Confession), and an indication of their area of interest within textual criticism. Non-members who wish to comment are not expected to be evangelical, but they are requested to respect the blog's ethos.
