In 2018, SABS (Society of Asian Bible Studies) will meet at the STFT Widya Sasana, Malang, East Java, Indonesia and accommodation at the Wisma St Maria Magdalena Postel, Malang, from 16-20 July (with arrival on the 16th and departure on the 20th). We encourage your attendance at this meeting and we welcome paper proposals on any book of the Bible as well as on any topic that deals with the Bible in Asia. However, one of the main objectives of this society is to foster biblical scholarship and research in Asia that takes seriously the Asian context—its cultures, religions, and methodologies. It is therefore strongly desirable that papers presented at this meeting are attempts to understand the Bible from varied Asian perspectives. For this coming meeting, we are especially hoping for papers that deal with the theme: “Bible and Empire in Asia: Past and Present“. See http://sabs-site.org/.
