WELCOME FROM THE DEAN Welcome to Regent University and to the annual conference of the School of Divinity and the Center for Renewal Studies. The School of Divinity provides theological education that seeks to be faithful to the Scriptures and emphasizes the renewing work of the Holy Spirit in order to form men and women who will bear witness to the gospel of Jesus Christ in the church, the academy, and the world. This year’s conference on The Holy Spirit and Christian Formation, its plenary presentations and parallel session papers, are all intended to take up the many important questions at the intersection of these issues. We are delighted

that you have chosen to join us. Please do not hesitate to let us know if we can make your visit a more pleasant and engaging one.

Joseph Umidi, D. Min. Executive Vice President for Student Life Interim Dean, Regent University, School of Divinity

INTRODUCTION FROM THE DIRECTORAs director of the Regent University Center for Renewal Studies, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our third annual conference. Our theme, The Holy Spirit and Christian Formation, embraces perfectly the motto of the center that the work of the Holy Spirit is a transforming work across all boundaries. We share a dedication to the work of God in the pentecostal, charismatic and other renewal movements across the nations and places of the world. Our primary objective is to overcome the isolation of church, academy and society in order to encourage and stimulate a broad discussion on renewal. We endeavor to learn

what stimulates renewal, what encourages and motivates its reception, what makes renewal work and what does not, what results from renewal, and how those results can be joined together for something greater than ourselves. Thank you for your contributions to this task. Our hope is not only to find a clearer understanding of renewal but also to stimulate such renewal in our lives.

Wolfgang Vondey, Ph.D. Director, Center for Renewal Studies

WELCOME FROM THE CONFERENCE COORDINATORS It is with great anticipation that we welcome you! The conference promises to be not only relevant but also multidisciplinary, in hopes of catalyzing rich discussion and personal application. We trust that you will learn more about how the Holy Spirit fashions us into the image of Jesus and the part we play in the process. Conference sessions will also address the role of godly love, grace and Scripture in developing Christian virtues of the heart, mind and emotions; the formative influence of interpersonal relationships; and why care of the physical body honors God and prepares us for our vocational calling. In addition, we hope that the meal times and breaks will foster further exchange and relational connections. We trust that you will enjoy your time with us this weekend.

FOURTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE IN RENEWAL THEOLOGY

The Holy Spirit, Science, and Theological Education March 18–19, 2016Sponsored by the grant “Science for Seminaries” awarded by the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Association of Theological Schools, this conference is established through the joint effort of Regent University, the School of Divinity, and the Center for Renewal Studies. Offered from a distinctively Christian worldview and renewal perspective, the conference aims to provide a safe environment for dialogue between science, Christian faith, and theological education. How can the Christian faith inform the sciences (broadly defined)? How can science engage the Christian faith? Can science and faith engage in a conversation on the renewal of Christian education? What are the parameters of a possible conversation? The answers to these and other questions and related issues provide a rich context for conference presentation and dialogue.

Call for Papers opens soon on themes related to:> History of Science and Religion: history of scientific thought and its cultural impact on

Western civilization, interaction between Christianity, the church and the sciences.

> Science, Theology, and Philosophy: interrelationships formed between biblically based theology, pneumatology, philosophy and scientific development.

> Methodology in Science and Theology: comparisons, correlations, and analysis of differences and similarities of method with attention to the Holy Spirit.

> Theological Contributions to Science or the Impact of Science on Theology: focused explorations and assessment of mutual impact, challenges and opportunities with focus on role of the Holy Spirit.

> Exegetical Matters in Engaging Science and Faith: biblical interpretations of pertinent issues including, among others, the creation accounts, with focus on the Holy Spirit.

> Christian Education: teaching science and Christian schools, pedagogical challenges for science and theology, interaction of science and theology with Christian education considering the Holy Spirit.

> Pastoral Ministry: how science can inform contemporary issues that bear upon pastoral ministry and how pastoral leaders can be conversant in faith and science.

> Christian Formation: complementarity and contrasts of how science and theology inform the process of Christian formation and spiritual development.

> Renewal Studies and Sciences: Pentecostal and charismatic engagement of the science and theology conversation.

> Any other theme broadly related to the Holy Spirit, science, and Christian education.
