OLD TESTAMENT
The Old Testament Study Group of Tyndale Fellowship exists to promote evangelical scholarship that takes seriously the authority of the Bible and rigorous academic study by engaging with issues in our wider world.
We meet in-person at the annual Tyndale Fellowship conference, along with the Fellowship's other study groups.

Tyndale Fellowship Old Testament Study Group
2027 Call for Papers
Introducing the Old Testament in an academic context and from a Christian perspective raises a host of pedagogical questions. Almost thirty years ago, the Tyndale Fellowship Old Testament Study Group considered these types of questions and published the proceedings in Make the Old Testament Live: From Curriculum to Classroom (ed. Richard Hess & Gordon Wenham, Eerdmans, 1998). The Old Testament Study Group is revisiting these types of questions and exploring the theme of ‘Introducing the Old Testament’ across 2026 and 2027. Whilst the 2026 Old Testament Study Group addressed preliminary issues pertaining to introducing the Old Testament, for 2027 we invite especially papers that examine a particular Old Testament text to illustrate how to introduce the Old Testament today.
Please submit an abstract to Chris Ansberry ansberrycb@gcc.edu by Thursday 10 December 2026.
