Summer semester is beginning to wind down

Updates from Tübingen    

by Birgit Hallmann 

A very busy summer semester is beginning to wind down. The Institute, under the new leadership of Dennis Lindsay has, with God´s blessing, resumed full operations in almost all areas.

Increasingly, students and scholars are also coming back to Tübingen in person. I am pleased that the guest room can now be used more intensively again.

22 June 2023
PHD candiate Francesca Lorenzini from University Roma Tre (Rome) presenting in person on:
„The (Up)coming Kingdom of God. Political implications of Jesus’ message between Rome and Jewish Rulers.“
(her professor participated online from Rome)

1. University / English German Colloquium for New Testament 

The EGC for New Testament continues to meet on a weekly basis with speakers from many different countries.

We are now intensively planning lectures for the winter semester as we continue to have more requests from potential speakers than we have available dates. The first presentations fort he fall are already on the schedule.

2.      Symposium „The Great Commandment..“ 2024

Preparations for next year's Symposium are in full swing.
The originally planned date had to be postponed by a few days in consideration of Jewish participants (new date:  October 6–8, 2024).

3.      EES / Institute for Christian Origins

The EES Board of Directors in the USA meets for its annual meeting on 19. July.
We are very happy that there are so many good and successful things to report about the work in Tübingen this year. We ask for God's blessing for the meeting and the tasks in the coming year.
