New Testament TC Papers at ETS

6
The Annual Meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society is coming up (13–15 November), and the schedule is online here. I did a search for the New Testament TC papers and tried to include them all with the date, time and room designation as of when I put the list together. I’m only listing the papers in each block that I think are relevant to NT TC, which is of course entirely subjective. Asterisks denote presenters who are not currently members of ETS, and I have simply copied them from the program.

    1. Thanks, David, I'm glad it's helpful. In the past, the ETC lunch has always been Peter Gurry's doing, and I have already been asking him about that. Maybe if enough of us prod him in that direction, he'll organise something or pass it off to someone else.
