Congratulations to SCIBS director Dr Meredith J.C. Warren and her co-authors, Dr Sara Parks (St Francis Xavier University) and Dr Shayna Sheinfeld (Augsburg University) on the award of the Frank W. Beare Award for their book, Jewish and Christian Women in the Ancient Mediterranean (Routledge 2022). The award was announced at the annual meeting of the Canadian Society of Biblical Studies at York University in Toronto, Canada.
The Frank W. Beare Award “recognizes an outstanding book in the areas of Christian Origins, Post-Biblical Judaism and/or Graeco-Roman Religions… The category of “outstanding” ought to be understood expansively and may be characterized by persuasiveness and originality, theoretical or methodological innovation, intellectual creativity, and/or the high quality of scholarship that reaches beyond the academic guild and is public-facing.”
