AAR Annual Meeting, 2010
Thousands of theologians, religionists and other people of doubtful character are now descending on Atlanta, Georgia for the 2010 AAR meeting. I arrived a few hours ago – the first time I've ever been way down south in Dixie. I'll be involved in three sessions:
- The Theology and Apocalyptic working group (Friday) – and speaking of apocalyptic, see Halden's interview with Nate
- Chairing the session on the political theology of Johann Baptist Metz (Sunday)
- And giving a paper in the Sacramental Poetics panel, responding to Regina Schwartz (Monday)
- Karl Barth Society
- Responses to Christopher Morse, The Difference Heaven Makes
- Unveiling Barth on revelation
- Film as iconographic mediation of revelation
- Political theology, responding to Bonnie Honig
- The Word made fresh (on Pentecostalism and political theology)
- Music and religion
- Analytic theology
- Responses to Kathryn Tanner, Christ the Key
- Schillebeeckx revisited
Glad to have you on east coast time, Ben. Question: that working group Friday afternoon -- is it a closed door session after it begins, or can people come late? I'll be at Emory to hear Paul Nimmo from 11:00 to noon before heading downtown, so I won't be there for the start time.
Wait! Don't leave!! I'll be at the same place in 3 weeks for the SBL conference. If you stay I'll spring for dinner. Is there any way you can leave a signed copy of your book or paper. Well I'm tickled you're there, and not a little inspired. Wear a good Barth button, ha ha. And watch out for those historical Jesus types.
I'll be reading a paper called "Scripture as the Divine Assumption of Fallen Human Language" at the Revelation, Language and Canon session of the Christian Systematic Theology Section on Monday @ 1:00 pm. Come say hi! http://meeting.aarweb.org/sessions/A1-203
