SBL member & @SBLPress author Luis Menéndez-Antuña on why we need biblical scholars: "Biblical scholarship ... helps us to understand the strategies— ethical, political, you name it—that people use when interpreting the Bible." #TalkAboutHumanities #TalkAboutBiblicalStudies

SBL member Samaria Divine on why we need biblical scholars: "Society is simultaneously misinformed about the Bible and heavily interested in the Bible ... We need biblical scholarship to combat the misinformation that is so prevalent these days." #TalkAboutHumanities #TalkAboutBiblicalStudies

SBL member John Kaltner on why we need biblical studies: "We need biblical scholars because some people misread the Bible in ways that can be harmful .... Bible scholars are the ones best suited to identify and call out such biblical malpractice." #TalkAboutBiblicalStudies #TalkAboutHumanities

SBL member Alexiana Fry on why we need biblical scholars. #TalkAboutBiblicalStudies #TalkAboutHumanities

We need #TalkAboutBiblicalStudies because a better understanding of the Bible and its complex history means talk about power, empire, colonialism—and that means a better understanding of our own history. #TalkAboutHumanities

We need #TalkAboutBiblicalStudies because the practice of respectful dialogue across diverse viewpoints is vital in our world. #TalkAboutHumanities

SBL is proud to participate in the #TalkAboutHumanities campaign this week alongside colleagues in the American Council of Learned Societies (@acls1919.bsky.social). Watch our channels this week as we highlight the important work of SBL members. #TalkAboutBiblicalStudies

SBL @sblsite.bsky.social is joining #TalkAboutHumanities with @acls1919.bsky.social. For nearly 150 years SBL members have produced scholarship that informs education, public life and the humanities. Biblical scholarship deepens our understanding of the ancient world and why it still matters.

The 2025 Society Report is now available on the SBL website. We are grateful for the opportunity to highlight hopeful and interesting work happening in and through SBL. buff.ly/FKI8vcc
