Sharing a Paper in March
Posted: Wed Jan 27, 2016 12:57 pm
I wasn't sure whether to mention this...
I submitted a paper for an SBL regional conference in November and got approval to share that paper just before Christmas.
The paper is an alternative explanation of Paul's argument in Gal 2:15-18. My understanding of this passage goes back, officially, to 2012 when I was reading Galatians and making an outline of it in anticipation of a forthcoming commentary on Galatians. When the commentary came out and I read about the difficulty of interpreting that passage (or really including vv 19-21), I looked back at my outline and realized my analysis was unique. It then seemed logical to write on this so as to practice my writing skills in effort to get more of a scholarly approach.
Just to shorten the discussion, many things came together in November to help me have a paper ready. I submitted it on two ideas. First, my explanation could be interesting enough to get some attention. Second, there was no risk in submitting it -- no loss.
As such I shall be reading/sharing my paper in Claremont in March.
