"We are delighted that you have chosen to visit our website and look forward to welcoming you in person to our next annual conference. On the theme Holy Writ? Authority and Reception, it will take place at York University from 11 to 13 April 2011 during the 400th anniversary year of the King James translation of the Bible. Speakers will include Serene Jones, Walter Moberly, Hugh Pyper and Anthony Thiselton.

Questions we shall be addressing include: How and why is scripture authoritative? How should scripture be interpreted and by whom? How does scripture shape churches through collective and personal reading? What theological priorities have motivated specific translations of scripture, including of particular passages? How does scripture inform theology, and how authoritative is scripture for present-day theology? In what senses is scripture 'holy' and 'inspired'? What about the offensive parts of scripture?

The call for papers will be made in December and bookings will open in January."  Janet Soskice, President
