Israel and the Church (Call for Speakers)

The International Society for Biblical Hermeneutics (ISBH) invites dispensationalist pastors, theologians, ministry leaders, and Bible enthusiasts to contribute to our current series on Israel and the Church. This series will conduct in-depth studies of Israel and the Church, focusing on doctrinal significance, history and eschatology, missiological insights, and the relevance of current geopolitical issues, including the fight against antisemitism.

Event Format

Location: Presentations will be on Zoom and live-streamed to the ISBH Facebook page.
Dates: Presentations will occur on the last Tuesday of every month.
Time: The presentation begins at 10:00 am Central US time / 4:00 pm UK time. We open the Zoom room 30 minutes early for informal fellowship. Presentations should last ~30 minutes to allow time for discussion until the top of the hour.
Paper Optional: Presenters may choose to share research papers, deliver PowerPoint-based lectures, or utilize another effective method of presentation to engage the audience. ISBH will not be publishing a volume from these presentations, but we have connections with journals that may be interested in publishing your work.

ISBH is theologically conservative. We adhere to dispensational theology, which applies a consistent leteral-grammatical-historical hermeneutic and results in a distinction between Israel and the church. God loves Israel and will make good on His promises to Israel. God also loves the church and has a plan for her that is unique from His plan for Israel.
