Papers Presented at ETS, SBL, etc.

This page contains links to papers that I have presented at academic conferences, including the Evangelical Theological Society, Society for Biblical Literature, Bible Faculty Summit, etc. Some have since been published in which case references are also given to the published form. Please note that a number of these papers are in Adobe Acrobat v. 5 format and will probably not open correctly (if at all) with older versions of Acrobat. You can download Acrobat 5 Reader (free) from this page on Adobe's web site.

2004 papers

ETS: Translation Philosophy and the English Standard Version New Testament (pdf file)

SBL: Biblical Exegetical Software in the Classroom (panel discussion; pdf file & accompanying PowerPoint file)

2001 papers

ETS: "May Evangelicals Dispense with Propositional Revelation? Challenges to a Traditional Evangelical Doctrine" (complete 38-page, dbl.-spaced paper; 8-pg. abridged version--this is the version that was actually read at the conf.)

SBL: "Adapting Technology to Teach Koine Greek" (complete 25-page sg.-spaced paper. Only an oral summary was presented at SBL, along with a demonstration based on PowerPoint slides (in Acrobat format). The slides posted here are static and do not include any of the animations, audio, or video contained in the live presentation. There are also three other PowerPoint files linked to the main one. These illustrate various parts of the paper. They are: Contract Verbs, Verb Morphology, and WebCT overview (also static Acrobat format). [Note: 2 of the Greek fonts did not embed in the main set of slides; I'll fix that and post a revised copy if I ever get time.]

These pages use CSS and Unicode UTF-8 encoding; most Greek text is now in Unicode format, though some remnants of the older, non-standard Galilee encoding remain. You should not have difficulties viewing this material if you have a relatively current web browser and a font that contains polytonic Greek. (Even the archaic IE will work, but you ought to be using FireFox! :)
