Early Biblical Interpretation Seminar
The Early Biblical Interpretation seminar series runs throughout the academic year and is focused on the study of texts and considers the vitality of biblical texts, traditions, and themes across the ancient world. In this seminar, one might hear research on the theme of wisdom in Greek tragedy, prayer in the Dead Sea Scrolls, biblical and classical commentaries, or rabbinic reading strategies.
The Bodleian’s incredible collection of Hebrew, Aramaic, Latin, and Greek manuscripts are an integral part of this seminar and we regularly organise group visits to the Weston Library.
Convener: Dr. Phillip Lasater (Worcester)
In Hilary Term 2023, the Early Biblical Interpretation seminars will run on Thursdays 10:00 am – 12:00 pm.
Consult at the Oriel College porter’s lodge for the 4-digit passcode to enter the Harris Seminar Room.
