SBL Nida Lectures
Since 2007 the Nida Institute has recruited and sponsored highly recognized scholoars to present informative and engaging lectures at the annual and international meetings of the Society of Biblical Literature. These are highly publicized within SBL and attract a diverse audience.
This venue promotes the Institute's trans-disciplinary approach to translation while providing biblical scholars an opportunity to challenge and augment their traditional understanding of the theory and practice of translation. A list of past lecturers demonstrates the Institute's commitment to exposing SBL's membership to top-ranking innovative thinkers working in fields relevant to translation studies.
