Biblical Intersections: Local Identities and Global Contexts

Hender holder en åpen bibel
  • Campus Stavanger, room 207. The event will also be streamed. See link below.
  • 27. mai 2025, 12:00 – 16:00
Arrangementet er avsluttet.
The seminar features papers by biblical scholars from the research group CollECT (Collective on Epistemology, Context and Text). These papers will be presented at the Society of Biblical Literature International Meeting in Uppsala, Sweden in June.

The 2025 Society of Biblical Literature International Meeting and the 2025 European Association of Biblical Studies Annual Conference will take place as a joint meeting at Uppsala University 23-27 June. Nine scholars from VID’s research group CollECT will give papers at the conference. The “pre-SBL seminar” has become a tradition, giving VID colleagues and CollECT members an opportunity to hear the conference papers, and the presenters a chance to finetune their presentations.
