The Spirit of Scholarship: Biblical and Mesopotamian Studies in the Roman Catholic Academy
This international conference highlights the historical-critical study of the Hebrew Bible in its ancient Near Eastern context as an enduring concern in theological research at leading Roman Catholic institutions of higher education. This three-day meeting is organized by members of the Boston College Theology Department and School of Theology and Ministry. We welcome select junior, mid-career, and senior scholars from both Roman Catholic as well as other confessional and non-confessional institutions – from North America, Europe, and Israel – whose work focuses on the Hebrew Bible and its relationship with Mesopotamia.
We gather together: to move our intellectual field forward, inviting not only senior and mid-career scholars but the latest generation of those working on the intersection of Bible and ancient Mesopotamia; to assemble a cadre of experts to create a sense of scholarly community; and, finally, to disseminate the cutting edge of biblical and Mesopotamian studies to the public and ecclesiastical community.
