The Early Biblical Interpretation Seminar series runs throughout the academic year. It 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 it regularly organises group visits to the Weston Library.
This seminar will not run in Hilary Term 2025. For enquiries, please write to ocsb@oriel.ox.ac.uk. For programme updates, please see this website.
