The Institute for Biblical Research, Incorporated (IBR) is an organization of evangelical Christian
scholars with specialties in Old and New Testament and in ancillary disciplines. Its vision is to
foster excellence in the pursuit of Biblical Studies within a faith environment. The achievement
of this goal is sought primarily by organizing annual conferences, conducting seminars and
workshops, and by sponsoring academic publications in the various fields of biblical research.
IBR's conferences, seminars and workshops are open to the public and its publications are
available for purchase.
