IN-PERSON | ONLINE
November 21 thru 23, 2025

Live lectures and Q&A by 17 renowned experts

Join us for a weekend of 17 lectures with leading Bible scholars and archaeologists.

Start the weekend on Friday evening with a special panel featuring Eric Cline, Jodi Magness, Eric Meyers, and Carol Meyers, moderated by BAR Editor-in-Chief, Glenn Corbett. The panel is sure to be an interesting discussion of the last 50 years of biblical archaeology and how Biblical Archaeology Review has impacted the field’s development.
