Annual Lecture
Contact: Lissa Wray Beal
The IBR Annual Lecture presents IBR members and guests with important research in the field of biblical studies that includes cross-discipline respondents and concludes with Q&A. It is followed each year by a publisher-sponsored reception with a free book for IBR members. Non-members are warmly welcomed to attend both.
Due to COVID-19 and the move of our annual meeting to an online format, the Annual Lecture has been postponed until 2021.
