The Scripture section
invites proposals for papers engaging the theme of the annual convention, American Catholicism in the 21st
Century: Crossroads, Crisis, or Renewal? Scripture abounds with stories of
crossroads, crisis, and renewal. Scripture and scripture interpretation has
also played a role in shaping the life and faith of American Catholics and the
American Catholic church. Papers exploring the way scripture can inform our
approach to the problems and challenges of American Catholicism in the 21st
Century, or papers that explore the role scripture and scripture interpretation
have played in shaping the current status of American Catholicism will be of
particular interest. All members of CTS, not only those with terminal degrees
in Biblical Studies/Scripture, are encouraged to relate the annual convention
theme to scripture and propose a paper. Proposals on topics unrelated to the
annual meeting theme will also be considered.
