Roger and I just returned from this year’s Evangelical Theological Society’s Annual Meeting in New Orleans. We were able to see many papers on some great subjects! Here’s a quick sampling of what I attended:

• An Anti-Naturalist Argument from Beauty – Jim Spiegel and Doug Geivett
• Social Ethics for a Social Network: An Unapologetic Presence on Facebook – Roger Sharp
• Discovering Relief from Our Worst Pain: The View from the Cross and Empty Tomb – Gary Habermas
• Yet Another Failed Anti-Molinist Argument – William Lane Craig
• The Bible Among the Myths – John Oswalt
• Ethical Implications of Islamic Concepts of God – Michael Edens
• The Text of the Gospels in the Papyri – Daniel Wallace

I also went to a few sessions at two other conferences.

EPS Apologetics Conference:

• Why Christian Knowledge Matters for Your Mind, Your Heart and Your Life – J.P. Moreland
• Gospel Truth: The Historical Reliability of the Gospels – Craig Keener
• Diplomacy vs. D-Day: Getting to the Content from the Conversation without the Casualties – Greg Koukl

Society of Biblical Literature Conference:

• Who is ‘God’ in the New Testament – Larry Hurtado
  Responses by Clint Arnold, Christian Mihut, and Craig Evans

As usual, the annual ETS meeting brings together the finest Christian thinkers from across the world to hash out theology and doctrine, present new ideas, and fellowship with the body of Christ! What an honor and blessing.
