ETS meeting includes 190 Baptist presenters

DENVER — Some 190 of 750 presentations at the Evangelical Theological Society’s (ETS) annual meeting were offered by scholars with ties to Southern Baptist churches, Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) entities and colleges that partner with Baptist state conventions.

The 2,700 participants at the Nov. 13–15 meeting in Denver marked the second highest ETS attendance ever, the society told Baptist Press, who conducted the informal count of Baptist presenters. Professors from all six SBC seminaries presented papers at ETS, with many focusing on the meeting’s Holy Spirit theme.

Southern Baptists involved in ETS leadership include David Dockery, president of Trinity International University in Deerfield, Illinois; Albert Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky; and Gregg Allison, professor at Southern Seminary.

The 2019 ETS annual meeting is Nov. 19–21 in San Diego, California. (BP)
