SUMMARY:TRS - Robert Revington
DESCRIPTION:At this week’s Theological Research Seminar\, Dr. Robert Revington will be presenting\, “How Biblical Scholarship in Canada Has Changed” \nRead the abstract and his bio below. \nAll are welcome to attend in Camelford Hall (room 226) at McMaster Divinity College at 1:00pm or via livestream at the link below: \nJoin the Livestream\nPassword: z00m (Note that the password has zeros rather than “o”) \nAbstract\nSince the 1840s\, the theory and practice of biblical studies in Canada has undergone massive changes. This lecture explores how research in the field in Canada has changed. What types of research questions did the earliest Canadian biblical scholars examine compared to today? How did professors interact with their students in past eras? \nBio\n \nRobert Revington is a Research Fellow at McMaster Divinity. He was recently a SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow at Queen’s University and has also done some teaching for the Vancouver School of Theology. He completed his PhD at Knox College in 2023 and recently replaced his supervisor Stuart Macdonald as the new president of the Canadian Society of Presbyterian History. Robert has been working on a study of the history of biblical studies in Canada and is also under contract with Eerdmans to publish a new biography of Lucy Maud Montgomery\, focusing on her identity as a Canadian Presbyterian. He has published articles in the Journal of Religion and Film\, Sport History Review\, Journal of the Canadian Church Historical Society\, Anglican Theological Review\, and the Journal of L. M. Montgomery Studies\, along with proposed chapters in multiple edited volumes. Finally\, Robert is a men’s league hockey player and season ticket holder for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. \n  \nAbout TRS\nThe MDC Theological Research Seminar (TRS) is a bimonthly gathering for all MDC students and faculty. TRS meets from 1:00 PM to 1:50 PM on alternating Mondays\, and includes about thirty minutes for the paper presentation and twenty minutes for discussion. \nAll advanced degree students are invited to present a paper and share your research with your colleagues. TRS is an excellent opportunity to “test drive” a paper you will be presenting at an upcoming conference and receive helpful feedback on your current research projects. Thinking about submitting an article to a journal and want some interaction first? TRS will provide it. Just published an article or an essay and want to share it us? TRS is an excellent opportunity to broadcast it. \nThis year the organizing committee consists of Dr. James Dvorak\, Dr. Phil Zylla\, and Dr. Gord Heath. To submit a paper\, contact a member of the organizing committee. \n
