ETS/SBL 2023 San Antonio

The bloggers at D33 enjoyed a week at the annual meetings of the Evangelical Theological Society and the Society of Biblical Literature in San Antonio last week. As usual, we were busy with presenting and listening to papers, perusing the exhibit hall and bookstore, and connecting with colleagues, students, publishers, and others. Stan presented three […]

ETS/SBL Denver 2022 Recap

This was the first year in several years that both of us at D33 were able to attend the ETS (Evangelical Theological Society) and SBL (Society of Biblical Literature) Annual Meetings in person, with IBR (Institute for Biblical Research) in between. This year the conferences were held in Denver, Colorado. As expected, it was an […]

Upcoming ETS, IBR, and SBL Annual Meetings in San Diego, CA

The annual meetings are always a highlight of the academic year. This year’s annual meetings are in sunny Southern California, where both Stan and I were born and raised, although closer to Los Angeles than San Diego. Stan hasn’t lived there since the 90s, and I haven’t lived there since 2011. It will be good […]

Reflections on the Recent Annual ETS and SBL Meetings 2017

Last week was an eventful one for two of the bloggers here at Domain Thirty-Three, as we attended the Evangelical Theological Society and the Society of Biblical Literature annual meetings.

The conferences were held near the River Walk, which is one of San Antonio’s most interesting attractions. The River Walk is actually a man-made river, one story below street-level, cutting through […]

ETS Regional Meeting: Trinity and Gender

The ETS Regional Conference recently took place here in the Ontario/Quebec region—probably one of the newest Regional meetings of ETS, not to mention the only one in Canada. I’ve been a part of this group since its inception in 2013, and each meeting has been fruitful and enjoyable. The meeting this year was held at […]

Has ETS Lost Its Way?

What is the purpose of a scholarly society? More specifically, what is the purpose of the Evangelical Theological Society? Every few years, ETS manages to mire itself in a regrettable incident. In my memory, these include (probably among others I have forgotten) the embarrassing episode regarding Robert Gundry’s membership, the odd debate over eternal damnation […]

Reflections on ETS & SBL 2015

Last week, the Evangelical Theological Society and Society of Biblical Literature had their annual meetings in Atlanta, from Tuesday to Thursday and then Friday through Tuesday, respectively. In between, the Institute of Biblical Research, of which I have recently become a member, had their meeting as well. Between the three of the contributors on this […]
