62nd Annual Meeting - Atlanta, GA

Important Update: Change in Plenary Speakers

We had previously announced that Pastor John Piper would be one of our plenary speakers at the November meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society in Atlanta addressing the theme of “Justification By Faith.” Unfortunately, Pastor Piper has had to withdraw from his involvement in this meeting in conjunction with an eight-month leave of absence that he will be taking from his ministry assignments. We are pleased to announce that Dr. Thomas R. Schreiner has accepted our invitation to serve as a plenary speaker. Dr. Schreiner is Professor of New Testament Interpretation at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. He has written extensively on the Apostle Paul, including The Law and its Fulfillment (Baker, 1998), Romans for the Baker Exegetical Commentary (Baker, 1998), Paul, Apostle of God’s Glory in Christ (InterVarsity, 2006), New Testament Theology (Baker, 2008), and, most recently, Galatians for the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary Series (forthcoming).
