SBL Roundtable: Cultivating Audacious Biblical Engagement in Urgent Times
November 25, 2024, 8am Pacific Time
For all those who are coming to the Society of Biblical Literature’s 2024 meeting in San Diego, please consider joining us for a roundtable discussion on Monday, November 25, 8-9am. We will gather in the Hilton Bayfront, Room Aqua 309. Coffee service and light breakfast items will be provided.
Items for discussion:
- What is the role of critical, contextual biblical scholarship in addressing the urgent crises of our times — including genocidal war in the Middle East and beyond, the rise of reactionary and fascist politics, and the threat and reality of climate catastrophe?
- What presentations and discussions at SBL so far have spoken the most strongly to these justice struggles?
- How can we support each other to make this content more available as resources for movements for justice and peace?
- What are we learning about building sincere, generative relationship between our academies, our sanctuaries and our frontline movement communities organizing for justice and peace in the face of these crises?
