AABS is happy to announce our Annual Virtual Meeting June 10, 2023 at 2:30-3:45 p.m. EDT. This annual virtual gathering is an opportunity to connect with biblical scholars from around the world for conversation and fellowship. This year our program invites two scholars to discuss their most recent publications.
Our presenters are the Rev. Dr. George Martin and Mr. Jay Weimer. Dr. Martin will discuss his book Paul Found in His Letters, (Claremont Press 2022) and Mr. Weimer will discuss “Religion Between the Bible and Early Pre-Islamic Arabia” from his work in the forthcoming The Religions Around the Old Testament. Dr. Martin is a retired Episcopal priest, who in his retirement is deepening his research into the Apostle Paul. Mr. Weimar is a PhD Candidate at John Hopkins University in Hebrew Bible and Northwest Semitic Philology.
