Who Should Attend This Conference?
"Whether you are a Christian believer -- fundamentalist, evangelical, moderate, liberal – or a follower of another religious tradition, or a non-believer, the letters of Paul are some of the most influential writings in the history of Western thought. Understanding what Paul actually believed and taught is crucial for comprehending the development of early Christianity and its impact on our world. Delving into these texts is one of the most enlightening intellectual endeavors that anyone interested in the history of our culture can undertake."

fuzzy math: The challenge of counting paul's authentic letters
What counts as “Pauline”? For nearly 1,700 years the answer seemed fairly straightforward. The New Testament canon set the boundary at thirteen (or fourteen, including Hebrews) authentic Pauline Epistles...
Read More
The identification of the historical Paul with the canonical Paul was severed, however, in the early-nineteenth century, leading to the distinctions between “undisputed” and “disputed” Pauline Epistles that have oriented the academic study of Paul ever since. Because of the subjective nature of so much of the argumentation over the authenticity of the Pauline Epistles as it developed in the nineteenth century, the analysis of authorial style took on increasing weight as a way out of having to make special decisions. The linguistic features of texts could be counted, averaged, and compared. In measuring one text’s language against another, the Pauline stylome would emerge as the incontrovertible standard for uncovering canonical forgeries in the Apostle’s name. In this talk I will argue that the entire enterprise of “counting” Paul is misguided and that our distinctions between the “historical” Paul and the Paul of “tradition” are much less firm than many think.
11:20 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
Dr. Jason Staples
Not by Faith Alone: Paul’s Gospel Wasn’t What You (Probably) Think
The apostle Paul is often interpreted as preaching a gospel of “salvation by faith alone,” a message of salvation through God’s forgiveness due to Jesus’ death on the cross opposed to the idea of salvation by works...
Read More
This view, however, badly misunderstands Paul’s message. Far from preaching that people are saved “by faith alone” (a phrase that only appears once in the Bible, where it is preceded by the word “not”) and that works have nothing to do with salvation, Paul proclaims that everyone will be judged based on works, and only those who do what is right will be vindicated in that final judgment. The question then is how one becomes a doer of justice, and that is ultimately what Paul proclaims: a gospel of transformation through which previously unjust people can become doers of justice and thereby be saved in the end.

1:10 - 2:20 p.m.
Dr. Joel Marcus
Reformer or Renegade — Paul, the Law, and the Jewish People?
Paul was Jewish by birth, but did he remain Jewish in practice and conviction after converting to Christianity? And what was his attitude towards his fellow-Jews—both those who shared his Christian convictions and those who did not?
Read More
Did he think a Jew had to convert to Christianity to gain acceptance before God? What did he think the future of the Jewish people was? And did he think that there was any continuing role for the Torah = Law of Moses in Christian life? We will examine the somewhat mixed signals Paul sends on these topics, which have implications for contemporary Jewish-Christian relations.
2:20 - 3:30 p.m.
Dr. Robyn Walsh
Paul as a Philosopher
This lecture will address Paul’s use and understanding of ancient philosophy, with a focus on his references to Platonism and Stoic cosmology. Special attention will be paid to the promises he makes...
Read More
to his addressees about the afterlife, the practices he advocates (e.g., baptism), and some of the common (mis)readings of his ethical and theological views. Other topics we will cover include the meaning and purpose of “spirit” (pneuma) in Paul’s letters, whether Paul’s philosophical principles informed the gospel writers, and what Paul means by “the heavens.”

The Apostle Paul’s Sexual Vocabulary
From man-beds to malakoi and prostitutes to parthenoi, Paul had a lot to say about sex. What his words meant, however, is far from clear...
Read More
Revisiting the Apostle’s instructions to the Christ followers in Corinth regarding nature, celibacy, and the dangers of desire, we will reconsider what these words meant and then came to mean, especially in English.

Since I engage so much with NT presentations by Bart and others, I thought the talks wouldn't provide "new insights" but I was wrong. The presentations were remarkably informative and thought-provoking.
This conference delivered on its promises! Ten experts delivered amazing content to non-scholars in a way that was engaging and easily understood.
