"Because whatever artificial intelligence may become, there is nothing artificial about the consequences communities are already facing." tennesseelookout.com/2026/04/14/i...

We need #TalkAboutBiblicalStudies because the practice of respectful dialogue across diverse viewpoints is vital in our world. #TalkAboutHumanities

We need #TalkAboutBiblicalStudies because a better understanding of the Bible and its complex history means talk about power, empire, colonialism—and that means a better understanding of our own history. #TalkAboutHumanities

SBL is proud to participate in the #TalkAboutHumanities campaign this week alongside colleagues in the American Council of Learned Societies (@acls1919.bsky.social). Watch our channels this week as we highlight the important work of SBL members. #TalkAboutBiblicalStudies

SBL @sblsite.bsky.social is joining #TalkAboutHumanities with @acls1919.bsky.social. For nearly 150 years SBL members have produced scholarship that informs education, public life and the humanities. Biblical scholarship deepens our understanding of the ancient world and why it still matters.
