Updates from Tübingen

Here in Tübingen, the busy winter semester has come to an end.
The English German Colloquium for New Testament met for the last time in this semester on February 6th when Tübingen doctoral student Lucas Ogden presented a paper entitled: “'Jesus was not a Christian, but a Jew': The Legacy of Wellhausen's Portrayal of the Historical Jesus.”
While many of the foreign students travel home for the semester break, we are already preparing for the new summer semester. The first presentations for next semester’s Colloquium have already been lined up. In addition, we are using this time to work on the publication of last year's Symposium and the integration of books donated to our library by Loren Stuckenbruck. It is with great pleasure that we are also able to pass along some of the duplicate books, some of them very old, to Jim Kautt, pastor of the Christian Church here in Tübingen, and to Dr. Maximilan v. Gerdtell, the great-nephew of Ludwig v. Gerdtell, one of the founders of the EES.
