Visit of EES board member Dr. Dennis Lindsay in Tübingen

Dr. Dennis Lindsay at the Institute October 2021

The Institute was very pleased to house EES board member Dennis Lindsay for two weeks in October.

A short report from him:

„For the first time in my role as chair of the EES Board of Directors, I had the pleasure of visiting Tübingen for two weeks at the end of October.  (I had originally planned this visit for the summer of 2020, but we all know what happened to those plans!).  During my visit I was able to spend time in the new Institute facilities (which are VERY nice) and meet with our Institute secretary, Birgit Hallmann, to take care of some pressing business items.  My visit coincided with the start of the Winter Semester at the University so that I was able to attend the first session of our regular English-German New Testament Colloquium which featured an excellent presentation from one of the German theology students here.  I was also able to meet, together with Professor Tilly, the new Dean of the Protestant Faculty, Professor Doctor Weyel.  There were a number of other contacts—both old and new—that I was able to make during my stay in Tübingen, including Professor Hermann Lichtenberger who was so helpful and supportive of our work here in years past.  I am happy to report that our relationship with the University and with the community is as strong as ever.  We owe a great deal of thanks to Institute Director, Beth Langstaff, and to Birgit Hallmann for their diligent service in Tübingen.“
