What is the link between creation and redemption? What responsibility do we as humans have in creation, and what practical actions we should take now to glorify Christ and advance his kingdom?
The L. Russ Bush Center for Faith and Culture will host The Goodness of Creation and Human Responsibility — a Faith + Culture Forum designed to address these important questions.
In conjunction with this conference, we invited submissions of papers on topics relevant to the conference’s theme. The winning paper will be published in the Spring 2021 issue of the Southeastern Theological Review. The authors of the top three papers will also won cash prizes ($500, $300, and $200, respectively) and received an invitation to present their papers at the conference (30-35 minutes with 10-15 minutes of Q & A).
