Now that I look at the paper titles, I see a focus on narrative in every single paper but one - which is Gorman's "Invitation." I hope you post some reflections on the conference, since I will not be able to make it. Peace, Thomas Charlie,

I don't have the impression that theological philosophy was the aim of the conference but more so Biblical scholarship on Paul meeting the church (especially the emerging church).

I hope you are doing well, and thanks for the post[s]. I was not aware of critiques of the emerging conversation for not engaging Paul. Any pointers to these texts? I thought the title, "Reclaiming Paul," was in response to the fact that some of the most original and creative work on Paul (and some may think this is bad, not good) has been done by continental philosophers. I was under the impression that this was a theological attempt to reclaim Paul from the philosophers. I am sure since Kara is moderating, you would know the purpose of the event, so I am not challenging you here. I guess in addition to my question, I think it would be foolish not to engage these philosophers. I just got Badiou's book on St. Paul on Monday, and it is very interesting so far. Charlie,
