Reconciling Biblical Scholarship and Theology: Hans Boersma and Scot McKnight in Conversation

Most Christians might be unaware that biblical studies and theology are divided by more than department hallways. In fact, serious divisions go back hundreds of years.

Join a fascinating discussion between New Testament scholar Scot McKnight (Northern Seminary) and theologian Hans Boersma (Nashotah House), who respectively just published Five Things Theologians Wish Biblical Scholars Knew and Five Things Biblical Scholars Wish Theologians Knew, both from InterVarsity Press (Academic).

Sponsored by Upper House and Nashotah House, this event took place on Wednesday, September 29, 2021, from 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. at Upper House in Madison, Wisconsin.

Although theologians and biblical scholars both study the bible, interdisciplinary tensions exist regarding methods and interpretation. This discussion will bring forward ways both disciplines seek to equip the church to love God better and show productive ways such conversations can occur across real and imagined lines.

This dual book launch will feature talks by both Hans Boersma and Scot McKnight, as well as introduction and moderation by Dr. Elisabeth Kincaid from Nashotah House.
