SBL International Meeting and Society of Asian Biblical Studies Meeting 2016

17/7/2016

For only the second time, the SBL International Meeting was held in Asia this year from 2-7 July 2016 in Seoul, South Korea (the first International Meeting was held in Singapore in 2005). This year’s meeting was held in conjunction with the biannual meeting of the Society of Asian Biblical Studies (SABS). Both Yonsei University and Methodist Theological University played host to these meetings respectively. 

More than 500 scholars from all over the world participated in this year’s  meeting, and the presence of a significant number of Asian scholars further contributed to the diversity and rich cultural and scholarly exchange. 

As the co-chair of the Paul and Pauline Literature Section of SBL International Meeting, I am particularly pleased to see a number of very interesting papers presented in this year’s meeting. With a total of 20 papers presented, the Paul and Pauline Literature Section was one of the most represented sections in this year’s meeting. The breakdown of the theme/focus of this year’s papers is tabulated in the following table.
