_____________________________
These are all very exciting issues and we are privileged to have four speakers since the conference normally has only three.
Also, call for papers is open. Note that, due to the inclusion of a four plenary speaker, there will be no simultaneous short papers. Also, a ‘Catholic Epistles’ seminar group has been added.
Nijay,
What kind of papers are being accepted if there will not be any short papers read this year? I am confused.

Ben D.,
‘Simultaneous short papers’ (SSP) are separate from the normal seminar groups. Usually the SSP are less technical than seminar topics. Last year there were four papers read in the SSP. This year they will not have this SSP session. But, the seminar groups are something different where papers are accepted and read within groups under a certain theme (such as Synoptics, Paul, Hermeneutics, etc…). See the website for more info about how the seminar groups.
Thanks!
Nijay
Please can you tell me the exact dates of the conference.
