Society of Biblical Literature and American Academy of Religion Program Books

Pitts Theology Library holds the archival records for both the Society of Biblical Literature (Collection RG 100) and the American Academy of Religion (Collection RG 057). These two organizations have held joint annual meetings since 1970 (with the exception of 2008-2011). Presented here are program books from these organizations (1938-2018). We plan to fill in missing program books as we produce digital copies of them.

NB: The American Academy of Religion was previously known as the National Association of Biblical Instructors and the Society of Biblical Literature was formerly known as the Society of Biblical Literature and Exegesis.
