Aside from teaching, one important contribution university and seminary professors make is their scholarly production. They attend and present at major conferences within their field, and publish books, journal articles, book reviews and other related publications.

Here at Grand Canyon Theological Seminary, we are actively involved in scholarly societies within the fields of biblical and religious studies. Two of the most prestigious conferences we participate at are the annual meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society and the combined annual meeting of the American Academy of Religion and the Society of Biblical Literature.

This year, seven of our esteemed faculty members will present Nov. 15 – 17 at the Evangelical Theological Society meeting and Nov. 19 – 22 at the American Academy of Religion and Society of Biblical Literature meeting, both to be held in San Antonio, TX.

Here are the titles, times and places they will be presenting:
