Professors of Biblical Studies Gather in San Francisco

Today, Brenda and I depart for San Francisco and the Annual Meetings of the Evangelical Theological Society and the Society of Biblical Literature. We will be joined by Steve and Linda Rettenmayer.

Scholars from around the world will gather for lectures, panel discussions, dialogue, and exhibits of the latest resources for study of the biblical texts. The Jerusalem Center for Biblical Studies will provide one of the exhibits.

The staff of JCBS will offer the best resource, the land as classroom. For thirty-five years, JCBS has partnered with colleges, universities, and seminaries in bringing professors and students to the lands of the Bible.

We welcome this opportunity to share the vision of the Jerusalem Center. Our hope is that many who share the teaching ministry of our Lord will discover how accessible this classroom is. With JCBS doing the "heavy-lifting" in terms of travel arrangements, housing accommodations, and the handling of details, travel-study in the land is entirely possible.
