Midwest Regional Meeting for Biblical Studies (including the Student Religious Studies Conference)

Event closed

The Midwest Regional Meeting for Biblical Studies continues the programming of the former Midwest Region SBL/AOS/ASOR Meeting after the decision by the national SBL in 2022 to eliminate its regional meeting system. The new meeting is now sponsored by the Chicago Society of Biblical Research (Biblical Research, Inc.), in cooperation with the Catholic Biblical Association and the Michigan Center for Early Christian Studies, and the meeting is organized by leaders of the former SBL region. For 2023 it will continue to meet at Saint Mary's College, Notre Dame (South Bend), IN, and will include most program sessions that had been offered in the Midwest SBL format, such as units on various aspects of Hebrew Bible, New Testament, Second Temple Judaism, early Christianity, and archaeology; the Regional Spotlight session; and a book review session. Links to additional Information about the meeting will be posted here when they become available. For questions about registration, please contact MidwestRegionalReg@gmail.com.


The Student Religious Studies Conference (SRSC), for undergraduate and graduate student presentations, will meet during the day on Friday, March 17, as part of the Midwest Regional Meeting. Details for the SRSC will also be posted here later.
