It was great to meet again with three thought-provoking presenters. Sean Macguire highlighted aspects of his doctoral studies and recently published book, regarding the metamodern and how it helps us to understand interpretative priorities and disagreements when it comes to Canadian Baptists. Helen John then led us into her extensive fieldwork (published here) amongst people in northern Namibia and how the Bible can open up discussion about local culture. Jo Logan talked about her research with women in south east England and how they understood the passage in Ephesians 5 and what they understood it to mean for the role of women today. Cross cutting questions about Bible user research – its benefits and challenges – were addressed, including questions of language and authenticity of responses. A rich evening!
