English-German Colloquium
The English-German Colloquium in New Testament continues to be one of the most successful programs of the Institute for the Study of Christian Origins. Offered (since the 1960's) in partnership with Protestant Faculty of the University of Tübingen and Prof. Michael Tilly, the Colloquium provides a forum for theology students and scholars to present their research work for peer review and feedback. This past summer semester we had presentations by scholars from Romania, Benin, Russia, and other German universities, as well as here in Tübingen. The unquestionable highlight this summer was a book presentation by Prof. Hermann Lichtenberger and Dr. Daniel Schumann, who completed the edition of the volume: "Zwischen Engeln und Menschen" ("Between Angels and Humans: the Role of Enoch in Slavic Enoch", Mohr Siebeck, 2025), following the untimely death of the book's author Andreas Wagner. This presentation, along with a reception following the presentation, attracted our largest Colloquium attendance of the year!
Note:
This review of the volume on the Lords Prayer from our 2018 symposium has just appeared in the Review of Biblical Literature. We thought you would be interested.
“..the volume offers a rich, multiperspectival exploration of one of the New Testament’s most popular texts. The three-part framework that situates the discussion of the Lord’s Prayer within early Judaism, the New Testament itself, and reception history in early Christian thought and Orthodox liturgy presents a comprehensive view of the prayer’s origins, development, and enduring significance.”
