ReLaBa
Vision : A Latin Network of Biblical Scholars of the Americas
During the International Congress of Biblical Studies (Buenos Aires, July 2019), the idea of building a "Latin Network of Biblical Scholars of the Americas" (ReLaBA) came up. The participants felt the need to have in Latin America something similar to IOSOT (International Organization for the Study of the Old Testament): a simple and agile structure that periodically organizes study congresses and publishes the material produced. On a more continuous basis, it should encourage the publication of research papers, promote knowledge and the exchange of teachers and resources. From this network, it will also be possible to organize on-line courses (e-learning), publish introductory manuals, promote relations with other similar institutions and centers of higher learning.
Mission
To foster and strengthen the joint work of biblical research with emphasis on the themes and realities of Latin America and the Caribbean, through congresses, publications, research projects and collaborations.
Our Journal on the Network
According to its academic and Latin American identity, Revista Biblica wants to serve as a platform for exchange and communication among biblical scholars throughout the Americas. Therefore, it gathers information about the resources we have in our continent. Users will be able to find the corresponding contacts, exchange resources and publicize their activities.
