Investigating Classical Theism
Helsinki Analytic Theology Workshop 2019, 20-22 February

Faculty of Theology, University of Helsinki
Faculty Room, Vuorikatu 3

Keynote lecture will be delivered by Prof. Yujin Nagasawa (University of Birmingham)

Call for Papers

In addition to the keynote, the workshop will have approximately six one hour slots for substantial papers that address the topic of classical theism. The papers may include arguments for or against classical theism, examinations of the relation between classical theism and other Christian doctrines and any other approaches that are suitably connected with the main theme.

Please send abstracts as a doc-file of a maximum of 700 words to Dr. Rope Kojonen (rope.kojonen@helsinki.fi) by the end of August 2018. The organising committee will make their decisions within two weeks. Unfortunately, we are not able to offer bursaries to presenters.  The final manuscripts should be sent to Dr. Kojonen by the end of January 2019.

Registration

The workshop is open for all and free of charge. Even if your paper is not selected, you are most welcome to join the discussion.

Those planning to attend the workshop should inform Dr. Kojonen by the end of January 2019.
