We have some great Emerging Scholars Network Conversations in the coming months!
October 27, 2021 at 5 pm ET. Power Women. “The dominant narrative we hear as professor mothers is that motherhood and academia are incompatible.” Two challenging vocations, each filled with complexities and daily ups and downs. Yet more and more women are answering the call to both the academy and motherhood. A growing body of literature addresses parent-professors, but what about the particular needs of Christian women seeking to navigate both callings while living out their faith? We will be in conversation with several of the contributors to this new IVP book, moderated by Karen Hice Guzman of Women in the Academy and Professions who is co-hosting this webinar.

November 16, 2021 at 5 pm ET God in the Modern Wing. Should Christians even bother with the modern wing at the art museum? After all, modern art and artists are often caricatured as rabidly opposed to God, the church—indeed, to faith of any kind. But is that all there is to the story? Bobby Gross, GFM National Director and modern art lover will be in conversation with the co-editors of this new book, Cameron Anderson and Walter Hansen. Sign up at: https://tinyurl.com/GodModernWing
December 9, 2021 at 5 pm ET. Struggling with Evangelicalism. When evangelicals make a mess, who cleans it up? Many today are discarding the evangelical label, even if they still hold to the historic tenets of evangelicalism. But evangelicalism is a space, not just a brand, and living in that space is complicated. Bob Trube be talking with Dan Stringer about the struggles many of us have with evangelicalism in the present day. Sign up at: https://tinyurl.com/DanStringer
Mark your calendar! We just learned today that we will be having a conversation January 5 at Noon ET with Os Guinness, author of The Call and a number of other books focused on cultural analysis and the Christian. We will discuss the re-issue of his debut work, The Dust of Death (which I read as a student) and his newest book, The Great Quest: Invitation to an Examined Life and a Sure Path to Meaning. Watch for more information soon!
The Emerging Scholars Network is always seeking opportunities to identify, encourage, and equip the next generation of Christian scholars to be a redeeming influence in the academy, church, and the world. As you have an announcement, a “call for papers”, an event, a prayer request (e.g., campus, field, higher ed), a resource suggestion, a review, etc., which is in concord with our Kingdom of God endeavor, please send materials (marketing/sales material not accepted) for consideration to post via email or the ESN Writer Survey. Thank-you. To God be the glory!
