Dear Practical Theologians,

It seems quite a while ago now that the Practical Theology Study Group met at the Tyndale Conference in July. Thank you to all who attended and presented the theme of a practical theology of sin. I left feeling encouraged and sharpened in my thinking, and was especially grateful for the sense of community in learning together.

Next year, the conference will again take place on 30th June – 2nd July 2025 at the Hayes Conference Centre, Derbyshire (The plan is to be back at High Leigh in 2026). Booking information will be available shortly on the Tyndale Fellowship Website.  After some discussion at the conference, we have decided that ‘personhood’ would make for an interesting and stimulating set of papers. The full call for papers is below. Please be thinking if you have a paper idea you could contribute, and do distribute the call among your networks.

I have been asked to speak about current issues in OT scholarship for a group of pastors later this year, so it occurs to me that posting in the forum here could be helpful so that I can tap into the OT Study Group hive mind! And it perhaps helps to encourage more use of the foum.

So, what would you say are the top 3 or 4 issues? This could include new developments, particular challenges, current emphases/preoccupations, etc.

I'd be grateful for any pointers you could give me! 😀

What a great report from this year's Philosophy of Religion Study Group from a first time attendee!

The forum is now open and functioning, but we are aware there are still a few tweaks to be made. In particular, there is an issue if you want to edit/delete/report a post, in that the menu for this shows blank. Please bear with us while we get this sorted out and if you come across anything else which needs changing, leave a comment here and we'll get to it as soon as possible.

This forum is for Tyndale Fellowship members only. If you know of someone who would benefit from the discussions here, please encourage them to join!

The primary purpose of the forum is to allow ongoing fellowship and discussions throughout the year, of the kind that we normally only get to enjoy during the annual conference. Please keep posts in the study group and cross-disciplinary forums on topic.

Please remember that we are a fellowship of believers, and treat one another as brothers and sisters in Christ online, as much as you would in person. Disagreement is to be expected amongst scholars, but respect and courtesy are also required.

If you come across a post which you believe is inappropriate, please report it and the moderators will take action as needed.

The Tyndale Fellowship is a fellowship, not simply an academic society. This area of the forum is the place to share news, ask for advice, and pray for one another concerning non-research matters.
