Norah Lofts, Gladys Malvern, Anita Trueman Pickett, Grace Meyers Petitclerc, Esther Kellner and Taylor Caldwell continued the tradition of female novelists in the field of Biblical Studies. Dear and Glorious Physician, a novel by Taylor Caldwell on Luke, was one of the bestsellers of the decade. In 1958 Wine of Morning, a biblical movie focusing on the character of Barabbas, directed in 1955 by Katherine Stenholm, was selected to represent the United States at the International Film Festival in Cannes, France.

The success of the book All of the Women of the Bible (1955) by Edith Deen signaled that a new generation of female scholars was about to emerge in the 1950s.

Argentine specialist of Romance and Hispanic Studies Emma Susana Speratti Piñero was one of the first women to contribute to Qumran Studies; in the 1950s she translated from the English into Spanish some of earliest works on the Dead Sea Scrolls by Edmund Wilson and Millar Burrows.

More directly involved in the scholarly study of the Scrolls was French specialist Annie Jaubert. Her pioneering studies on the Qumran calendar had a profound impact also on the interpretation of the Gospel chronology of the Last Supper.

Italian archaeologist Margherita Guarducci led the team of specialists who worked at the rediscovery of the ancient necropolis underneath the Vatican where the Tomb of Peter was located.
