OLD TESTAMENT
4th - 6th JULY
The Decalogue in the Old Testament
Following a successful and fruitful conference looking at the Psalms, the papers of which should be published in a book edited by Philip Johnston and David Firth called Studying the Psalms (through Apollos) in early 2005, the Old Testament study group has decided to examine the theme of The Decalogue within the Old Testament. Our intent is to examine the ways in which various traditions within the Old Testament pick up and use the Decalogue within their own setting. In this way, we hope to examine the ongoing process of interpretation that was taking place within the Old Testament as the themes of the Decalogue were applied, but also the ways in which the later reflection on it serves to inform our understanding of the Decalogue. For example, one might look at the use of the Decalogue in Jeremiah's temple sermon, or the ways in which certain elements of the Decalogue are taken up within Psalms.

BIBLICAL THEOLOGY
STUDY GROUP PROGRAMME 2005
The use of the OT in the NT
For 2005 the Biblical Theology group hopes to focus on the theme of the use of the OT in the NT. This issue continues to be a fruitful area of research with new publications exploring different facets of a wide-ranging discussion. We would welcome papers, long or short, that address either broad issues of methodology or specific examples. While some studies restrict themselves to the use of OT quotations in the NT, we would welcome papers examining the broader use of the OT are welcome. We are particularly interested in having papers from younger scholars and research students who may, perhaps as an off-shot of their research, have new insights to offer on how NT writers incorporate OT passages and concepts into their writings.

Christian Ethics in Global Perspective
The Ethics and Social Theology group had a planning meeting at the end of our time at Nantwich and decided that our programme from 11th-13th July would be based on the theme of 'Christian Ethics in Global Perspective'. David Cook has agreed to do our Tyndale Lecture. The range of specific topics covered is likely to be broad, but everyone will be asked to approach their paper with the dynamics of globalization, international relations and contemporary world mission in mind. Küng and Moltmann's attempts to define new forms of 'global ethics' will also be in the background.
