Join the Catholic Biblical Association for this afternoon session from the 2026 Mid-Atlantic Regional Meeting at Villanova University, featuring a major paper by Matthew Novenson and presentations by Paul Danove, Kim Gunter, Lisa Deak, and James Garcia. This afternoon showcases the depth and range of contemporary biblical scholarship, spanning Pauline theology, the Gospel of Mark, divine impartiality, gender and ethnicity in biblical interpretation, and the ethics of war and peace. Novenson’s major paper, “Apokatastasis in the Letters of Paul?,” explores restoration, resurrection, and the destiny of “all things” in Paul, while the following papers engage Jesus’s interpretation of what is permitted in Mark, the Syrophoenician woman’s bold challenge to boundaries of power and belonging, the meaning of God’s impartiality and love of enemies, and the Gospels in relation to just war theory. Recorded as part of the CBA’s 2026 Mid-Atlantic Regional Meeting, this session offers a compelling window into current New Testament research and its significance for the church, the academy, and public life.
