2023 Symposium: Creation Care

The Symposium on the Theological Interpretation of Scripture took place September 22 and 23, 2023 in-person on North Park University’s Chicago, IL campus and was also streamed online for registered participants. The theme was “Creation Care: Biblical Foundations and Practical Implications” and featured prominent scholars from around the world; this year’s Symposium included presentations from six scholars, click on the session titles below to view the recording of the presentation.

We are very grateful for the significant work these scholars gave to preparing their papers and presentations for the Symposium. We are also grateful for the respondents who prepared and presented their response to the paper.

The edited papers and responses will be published in Ex Auditu in the spring of 2024. For more information on Ex Auditu and to order your copy, visit the Ex Auditu website. You can order Volume 37: Creation Care, as well as all previous issues from Volumes 1 through 36, on the Ex Auditu website.
