Hebrews at SBL

Society of Biblical Literature Annual Meeting

November 19–22, 2022

Denver, Colorado

Institute for Biblical Research
11/18/2022
3:30 PM to 5:30 PM
Room: Governor's Square 11 (Plaza Tower - Concourse Level) - Sheraton Downtown (SD)

Theme: Hebrews and the Pauline Tradition
This research group explores the relationship between Hebrews and the Pauline tradition. While Hebrews must be able to speak on its own terms, historical and canonical imperatives call for it to be read alongside Paul’s letters. This year, we invited papers that engaged with specific texts or themes in Hebrews and the Pauline Epistles. For more information, please contact Madison Pierce (mpierce@tiu.edu) and Bryan Dyer (bdyer@bakeracademic.com).
