About the Bible Faculty Summit

logo1_shrinkThe Bible Faculty Summit is dedicated to promoting scholarship in service of the church. We are Bible teachers and seminary professors from a group of colleges and seminaries who have been meeting together since 1995 for the purpose of academic reflection, scholarly engagement, and mutual edification. We typically spent two and a half days hearing papers, discussing them as a group, and enjoying Christian fellowship among fellow laborers in Bible teaching ministry.

  • In 2014 we met on the campus of Bible Baptist Seminary in Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania.
  • In 2015 we met at Central Baptist Theological Seminary in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
  • In 2016 we met at Maranatha Baptist University in Watertown, Wisconsin.
  • In 2017 we met at Appalachian Bible College.
  • In 2018 we met at Bob Jones University.
  • In 2019 we met at International Baptist College & Seminary.
  • In 2020 we took a break because of COVID.
  • In 2021 we met at Faith Baptist Bible College & Theological Seminary.
