· 2014 International Meeting · 3 Welcome to Vienna

Welcome to the 2014 International Meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature in cooperation with the European Association of Biblical Studies. EABS and SBL are proud to collaborate and to foster biblical scholarship together in Austria, a picturesque country that hosted the organizations also in 2007. SBL is particularly grateful to EABS for encouraging the flow of scholarship among European countries and beyond. Reimund Bieringer, the President of EABS, and Ana T. Valdez, its Executive Officer, have been great partners for this meeting, which represents the dedication of both organizations to support academic excellence and the exchange of knowledge and ideas. Since our last meeting in Vienna, scholars from an additional seven countries have joined SBL’s membership, adding their expertise and perspectives to the global work of fostering biblical scholarship. Those countries include Bolivia, Georgia, Myanmar (Burma), Pakistan, and Uganda. The Society’s members represent over 2,200 institutions in ninety-four countries and six continents. They specialize in fields as diverse as Akkadian philology, archaeology of gender, computer-assisted research, psychoanalytic criticism, and translation theory, in addition to the textual and interpretive histories of biblical literature and other scriptures. Our host institution, the University of Vienna, was founded in 1365 and is the oldest university in the German-speaking world (650 years old in 2015). The university’s rectorate and four of its faculties— Historical and Cultural Studies, Philological and Cultural Studies, Catholic Theology, and Protestant Theology—have supported the meeting. The Institute of Jewish Studies has been instrumental to the meeting’s organization. In particular, Armin Lange, from the Institute, has made this meeting possible—from the invitation to host the conference, to its planning, with no detail left undone. You will notice a number of fascinating sessions on reception history that have been organized by scholars from the Institute and the four faculties and the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Jüdische Studien in Österreich. I encourage you to attend these sessions, especially the plenary sessions Monday through Wednesday from 11:45 AM to 12:45 PM. We also thank Florian Krug and Falk Pastner of the university’s conference management office for their coordination and assistance. I am always indebted to my colleagues on the SBL staff, who tirelessly organize excellent meetings year after year. And as learned societies, we together recognize all the EABS and SBL member-volunteers, who give freely of their time, especially the program committees and program unit chairs. This meeting is by members for members. The numerous exhibitors and advertisers who bring the latest in print and digital publications enrich SBL’s congresses. As they produce such resources to support your scholarship, support them by purchasing and using their products in your teaching and research. Special thanks go to Peeters Publishing and the Nida Institute of Biblical Scholarship at American Society for their continued collaboration and proud sponsorship of the Society’s International Meetings..

4 · 2014 International Meeting · Welcome to the joint SBL/EABS Meeting in Vienna

As the current president it is my honor and my pleasure to welcome you to this joint meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature and the European Association of Biblical Studies in Vienna. Our host is the University of Vienna, to whom I would like to express our sincere gratitude for hosting our conference. Vienna is one the most famous European capital cities and a major world cultural center. The University of Vienna is the oldest German speaking university (founded in 1365). Nobel prizes and central intellectuals taught or studied at the University and other intellectual trailblazers populated the city. Names such as Sigmund Freud, Erwin Schrödinger, Karl Popper, Arnold Schoenberg, Theodor Adorno and Stefan Zweig immediately come to mind. Welcome to Vienna and may we all learn from each other at this meeting and together advance knowledge in our field! The EABS is a dynamic community of scholars which is trying to meet the challenges of the quickly changing world of biblical and cognate studies. Rooted and physically located in Europe, the EABS welcomes scholars from all over the world in its membership and leadership. The EABS is committed to foster and create opportunities for graduate students and early career scholars. We offer an annual student prize to distinguish the best papers given at the annual conference, and we support an annual Graduate Symposium where students gather to discuss their ongoing work with their peers and senior scholars. The EABS is delighted to work once again with the SBL in the organization of this joint meeting to be held in Europe. Together we thank our hosts at the University of Vienna, the staff who has organized this world-class meeting, chairs of research units (both SBL and EABS) and members of the relevant program committees whose volunteer work and foresight makes all this possible, and the exhibitors and advertisers that bring resources to this meeting, and to all the participants who make this endeavor meaningful and who year after year further research and teaching in all our academic areas of studies. Wishing you a wonderful and fruitful conference,
