Third Space focuses not only on Asian American history and ministry but it also has an academic side focusing on Asian American theology and biblical studies. Check out this page for our latest research and activities in the academic world.

IBR Research Group
Asian American Biblical Interpretation: Evangelical Voices

2024 Program
Fri Nov 22
3:30 - 5:30 PM
Indigo 204A (Second Level) - Hilton Bayfront, San Diego

This year our research group will focus on biblical interpretation from non-East Asian cultural contexts focusing in particular on South and Southeast Asia. The program will consist of invited papers which will expound a biblical text from such social locations speaking to their locations and the wider world. Presentations will include some reflection on methodology and those characteristics which distinguish South and Southeast Asian biblical interpretation. Two respondents, one East Asian, as well as discussion from the floor will be included. Questions can be directed to Milton Eng ([email protected]) or Max Lee ([email protected]).
