  • Bible Odyssey
    There are many differences between Bible study, which happens in a religious setting, and study of the Bible, which happens in an academic one. Bible Odyssey presents the work of scholars in an engaging format that reveals the historical context behind key people, places, and passages of the Bible that have influenced our history, literature, popular culture, and politics.

  • Bible Electives in Public Schools: A Guide is an SBL-produced guide to teaching the Bible in public secondary schools.
