By B&I Editors
November 2026
Welcome to the redesigned website of The Bible and Interpretation, a freely accessible resource for research on the Bible and the ancient Near East. We bring specialist scholarship to scholars, teachers, students, and interested readers through clear writing, informed analysis, and substantive debate.
For more than a quarter-century, B&I has connected researchers with a wider public. Its archive now encompasses approximately 1,200 articles by nearly 600 contributors. Authors include Hector Avalos, Helen K. Bond, Bruce Chilton, Eric H. Cline, Philip R. Davies, Ronald Hendel, Niels Peter Lemche, Beth Alpert Nakhai, Mark S. Smith, Margreet L. Steiner, and James D. Tabor, alongside many other established and emerging scholars.
