The Biblical Theology in Asian America conference gathers biblical scholars, theologians, pastors, and faith leaders to reflect on how Scripture participates in shaping the life of Asian American Christian communities. The conference approaches biblical theology not simply as an academic field of study but as a practice of interpretation that attends both to the textual world of Scripture and to the historical and social conditions within which Christian communities live. Scripture functions as a formative medium through which communities remember their past, interpret their present circumstances, and cultivate a shared sense of identity as the people of God.Asian American Christian life unfolds within histories of migration, intergenerational family life, cultural transmission, and the ongoing negotiation of belonging. These experiences resonate deeply with the biblical portrayal of communities whose life with God takes shape amid displacement, movement, and renewal. The Hebrew Bible frequently situates Israel’s identity within conditions of exile, return, and resettlement, inviting reflection on how communities sustain faith, memory, and hope across generations shaped by migration.
