This presentation puts forward the potential of scripture in tracing two ways the same biblical narrative shaped a woman’s experiences during her life. The presentation describes the initial reading as shaping her experience of oppression as a young woman, while describing later in her life a re-reading of the same biblical narrative enacted the healing of her trauma that came from the initial surface reading.

On the first Sunday of July every year, Australian Roman Catholic parishes commemorate National Aboriginal and TSI Sunday. This paper explores issues pertaining to this celebration especially: (ii) the norms of liturgical inculturation for the celebration of Roman Catholic liturgy since 1963; (ii) the recently established special celebration on this Sunday; (iii) pope John Paul II’s address in Blatherskite Park, Alice Springs, 1986, to indigenous Australian peoples; (iv) an evaluation of a selection of specially produced liturgical resources for parishes to celebrate this Sunday; and (v) final questions and possibilities for future celebrations.

HDR Confirmation seminar in Studies in Religion. All are welcome.

Interdisciplinary dialogue between Religion and Philosophy in academic contexts is often assumed to be both desirable and achievable. However, Martin Buber’s understanding of dialogue and key elements in his theological stance seriously challenge these assumptions. Presented by Dr Ray Reddicliffe.

A Spirit-Word-Community hermeneutic for preaching is proposed. It provides the foundation for a Spirit-led redescription of the world. It is Word and community that establish the parameters for responsible preaching. Presented by Associate Professor Neil Pembroke.

In this paper, I will examine the quotations of and allusions to the writings of the Apostle Paul in the second century apologetic text “A Plea for the Christians” (Presbeia Peri Christianōn) by the Athenian apologist Athenagoras. The apologist’s references to the Athenian narrative of Acts 17 will also be considered as a source of Pauline tradition. It will be seen that Athenagoras, independent of his contemporaries, was significantly influenced by Pauline thought. Presented by Dr David Evan.

The narration of the flight of the infant Jesus to Egypt—found only in Matthew’s gospel (Matthew 2:13-23)—clearly resembles Old Testament narratives of Moses and of the exodus in both content and design. Misinterpretations of the placement of Hosea 11:1, however, have prevented a clear understanding of Matthew’s purpose for this story. A social-identity hermeneutic will add insight into both the placement of the fulfillment citation and the function of the account. Presented by Dr Linda Stargel.
