We invite members of RTB’s Scholar Community to apply for participation in the Visiting Scholar program. Qualified candidates share our commitment to engage in reputable scholarship and to actively share the gospel of Jesus Christ with STEMM professionals.

Visiting Scholars come to RTB headquarters and enter into an extended collaboration with RTB’s staff scholars. These strategic scholar-evangelists use their own expertise to engage in various projects to add depth and scope to the ministry’s resources.
