Narrative:
Descending on a visual approach to runway 36R. Observed a B737 converging on us in a left bank. TA followed by an RA to climb. We turned away and climbed, then resumed the approach and landing after the conflict was resolved. Talked to TRACON supervisor, who had yet to review the tapes. He was unsure whether ATC was late turning B737 on final to runway 36L or whether B737 overshot final.
