Today’s scholars are added to this index as they are interviewed or profiled for this site (see Interview Submission page). A biblical scholar includes not only those specializing in Old Testament/Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, but also those in fields that advance the knowledge of the scriptures (e.g. archaeology, reception history, hermeneutics, or the ancient cultural contexts of the biblical texts).

Note: This list is not comprehensive. For additional lists of scholars see Logia’s list and Women Also Know History. The list below is meant to spotlight scholars with in-depth interviews. If you or someone you know  should be interviewed, see the Interview Submission page. See also the Book Spotlight page.
