Currents in Biblical Research Journal

CBR is a peer-reviewed journal that summarizes the spectrum of recent research on topics in Hebrew Bible, early Judaism, and New Testament.

[Currents in Biblical Research Journal @CbrJournal]

CBR invites submissions on emerging methods & motifs in HB, NT, and Early Judaism. We’re creating a pipeline of articles that highlight new areas of study, esp. by authors most affected by the difficulties of the past years, incl. early career and underrepresented scholars.
