SUMMARY:New Testament Guild
DESCRIPTION:This time\, we’re continuing our spin-off discussion related to annual conferences\, with the title  “The Art of Asking Questions: From Curiosity to Connection.”\n\nAs we reflect on our experiences from the recent SBL/AAR and ETS conferences\, this meeting aims to review the questions we encountered during our sessions\, others’ sessions\, and even those casual conversations with scholars at receptions. We’ll explore how these questions sparked discussions\, provided insights\, and fostered connections.\n\nTo kick off the discussion\, I’ll pose a few initial questions to get us started. After that\, I encourage you to bring your own thoughts and questions to deepen our conversation. Your contributions will be invaluable as we aim to create a dynamic and engaging dialogue.

SUMMARY:New Testament Guild
DESCRIPTION:Join our Third NT Guild Meeting on November 11\, 2024\, at 1:00 pm on the topic Strategies for Asking Impactful Questions. As we await the upcoming SBL/AAR and ETS conferences\, our goal for this guild meeting is to equip us with some strategies for raising effective questions during the conferences. We all agree on the importance of questions in fostering deeper discussions and understanding in the academic context. Raising insightful questions boosts confidence and enhances our engagement. This topic\, I believe\, will not just benefit the conference attendees but to our regular academic exercises in MDC classrooms.\n\n\nWe are going to make two groups\, one of the faculty and previous conference attendees and the second of students and future conference attendees. I will ask a few opening questions to prompt discussion. Participation from both groups is highly anticipated in the discussion to share knowledge about struggles\, challenges\, and strategies for crafting insightful questions. I encourage you to prepare pertinent questions and join the meeting In-Person or via Zoom (link below).\n\n\nJoin the Livestream \nPassword: z00m
