The Context Group is a working group of international scholars committed to the use of the social sciences in biblical interpretation. The group emerged in the late 1980's from earlier associations in the SBL and CBA. Members meet annually to work together on collaborative projects and to offer peer review of individual ones. Annual meetings alternate between Portland, OR and Philadelphia, PA. Newcomers are welcome. Due to the popularity of these events, protocols for the meetings should be consulted.
