Dr. Kang-Yup Na, assistant professor of religion at Westminster College, recently presented a paper to the joint meeting of the American Academy of Religion (AAR) and the Society of Biblical Literature (SBL) held in San Antonio, Texas.

"As one of four invited to a panel organized by the Reformed Theology and History Group of AAR to discuss the Place of the Bible in Reformed Theology,' I presented Biblical Theology and Dogmatic Theology: the Tortuous and the Torturous Tale of Scriptura and Traditio," Na said.  "As a steering committee member of that group, I also attended its other session and participated in the business meetings of the group.  I took an active part in the discussions of papers delivered for the Korean Biblical Colloquium, a group within the SBL.  At its business meeting, I was elected as a steering committee member.

"As every year, I returned with regained vigor, a stimulated mind, new ideas for future projects, and ideas for improving my teaching and writing, especially with regard to the most recent books and scholarship on a variety of topics for research and teaching."

Na, who has been with Westminster College since 1998, earned his undergraduate degree from Princeton University, master's from Princeton Theological Seminary, and Ph.D. from Emory University.  Na has traveled and preached in several Korean universities and churches.
