The Carolina Analytic Theology Workshop will take place from Friday, May 24 - Saturday, May 25, 2024.

The 2024 workshop is scheduled to take place on the campus of Anderson University in Anderson, South Carolina. 

This is an invite-only workshop that will alternate each year between Anderson University’s Clamp Divinity School (Anderson, SC) and Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (Wake Forest, NC).

The purpose of the annual workshop is at least three-fold: 

1. We aim to seize on the critical mass of analytic theologians that populate the southeastern quadrant of the United States in order to encourage further networking and collaboration on research. 

2. We aim to workshop ideas and provide a collegial and intimate setting in which to discuss one’s research. 

3. We aim to encourage further the theological nature of analytic theology. 

The Workshop’s invite-only nature is designed, in part, so that we have on-hand between 20-30 participants reading and interacting with 8 papers. The four papers a day and restricted number of attendees allows for sustained reflection on the presented research with an intimately sized group of scholars. The vast majority of our attendees will be professional academics, while we also have a few spots reserved for a select group of graduate students, those whom we think would both enjoy and benefit from taking part in the exercise. Invitees will be philosophers, theologians, and biblical scholars. This, we hope, will help cultivate an environment of interdisciplinary engagement.

The papers will be read before the workshop (similar to how the old Logos workshop at Notre Dame was run).  All of these provisions allow for time and space for discussion without the feel of a normal conference, wherein ideas are treated often with a glancing blow rather than sustained thought and reflection. So, we aim genuinely to get new lines of research from scholars wishing to workshop their ideas.
