Join us at our most popular program! Our
annual BAS Bible & Archaeology Fests draw
more participants than any other event. And for
good reason: You can choose from concurrent
sessions as 20 of the world’s leading scholars
bring you the latest insights into early
Christianity, the Hebrew Bible, the Dead Sea
Scrolls, ancient Israel, Biblical archaeology and
much, much more.
While the scholars are the main reason people
love Bible Fest, many tell us that their fellow
participants are also an important factor in their
decision to attend (and many participants come
year after year). There’s no greater excitement
than in meeting fellow enthusiasts who are as
eager as you are to learn the latest in these fascinating
fields.
Join us for our premier event and enjoy one of
America’s most popular cities while our Bible
Fest scholars stimulate your mind.
