Do the next best thing: listen to audio from FC08 tracks.
Fourteen tracks will be offered at Following Christ 2008, eleven in various academic and professional disciplines and three interdisciplinary tracks. Take a look at the descriptions of tracks that interest you. When you register for the conference, you will be asked to select one track to participate in during the event.
Disciplinary Tracks
There are eleven disciplinary tracks at Following Christ 2008. Because all Christians active in the academy or marketplace have much in common, we rightly gather all together for a conference like this. But because the various disciplines encompass different problems, methods, tools, languages, aims, and measures of success, it is no less appropriate for us to caucus with our colleagues by discipline. That is what the disciplinary tracks are for.
In such a setting we are able to pursue several of our most important goals for the conference overall:
- To consider ways to practice the disciplines in the light of the questions raised by the conference’s theme of human flourishing.
- To explore examples of skill and creativity (“best practices”).
- To consider ways to engage and enrich the world with good news and good deeds.
- To deliver biblical, theological, and discipline-specific teaching.
- To join with colleagues for mutual encouragement and challenge.
The following disciplinary tracks will be offered at Following Christ 2008:

The three interdisciplinary tracks are:
