SAHS at SBL: Engaging Kevin Vanhoozer’s Mere Christian Hermeneutics
Fri, November 21 | 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM | Essex South, 3rd Floor, Westin Copley Place
In 2016 SACS had a great inaugural session in San Antonio. With approximately 70 in attendance, Dr Bill DeJong (McMaster Divinity College) presented on “Which Way Now? Pearls and Perils Along the Uncertain Path of Practical Theology.” Ken Herfst (Redeemer University College) presented on “Broad Brushstrokes for a Potential ‘Scripture and Church’ Agenda,” and Dr Michael Wagenman (Western University and Redeemer University College) presented on “Pondering Practical Theology: Proclamation and the Problem of Propaganda.”
In 2017 SACS met for the second time around the theme of The Kingdom of God and Everyday Liturgies.
The 2018 theme for the Scripture and Church Seminar brought into focus the complex relationship between the church and the Kingdom of God.
The theme for 2019 was “Communicating the Kingdom”.

Scripture-Based Models for Preaching
What can Scripture itself teach us about preaching? How did biblical authors appropriate Scripture in their own preaching? What can we learn from portions of Scripture that were intended to urge certain ways of thinking to lead to right ways of living, such as Proverbs? This seminar explores these questions and others. The focus is not on homiletics per se, but rather models for preaching that emerge organically from Scripture itself.
