Southwest Conference on Christianity & Literature
Dates: Sep 28, 2007 - Sep 29, 2007
Hosted by: Dallas Baptist University in conjunction with the Southwest Conference on Christianity & Literature

Southwest Region 2007 Conference
"Alarming Necessities": Taste, Reading, and Theology

From the event website:

Keynote speakers:

Stephen Prickett, Director of the Armstrong Browning Library at Baylor University
Frank Burch Brown, Frederick Doyle Kershner Professor of Religion and the Arts at Christian Theological Seminary

When something is beautiful or fitting, it has a way of seducing, even demanding our attention, yet not everyone recognizes or agrees on what is lovely or apropos. Taste seems to be a necessity to be moved by the beautiful book, painting, or song. It has been argued that theological and religious persuasions require a similar faculty or faith. In a pluralistic and polyvalent culture of reading and worship, is an ecumenism of taste possible in our liturgies, pedagogies, and criticism?

For more information about the conference and registration, visit the Dallas Baptist University website.
