BYU at ASOR/AAR/SBL 2014

One measure of a university's engagement in the larger scholarly world is its participation in scholarly conferences. The annual joint meetings of the American Schools of Oriental Research, American Academy of Religion and Society of Biblical Literature are a massive endeavor with hundreds of presenters and thousands of attendees.
