I am joining my fellow SBL members is passing on this information from the Society of Biblical Literature which was emailed to us.

The SBL has received an NEH planning grant to develop a website, “The World of the Bible: exploring people, places, and passages.” The site is intended for general audiences and will share scholarly views and encourage critical engagement with the Bible, including its ancient contexts and interpretive legacy.

We encourage you to share this survey with people who are not bible scholars—your students, perhaps, or friends and family. The goal is to gain a diverse representation of our intended audience and to assess their current level of familiarity with and interest in the Bible.

If you have a little bit of time, please help out and participate in the survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NH3V5ZZ
