Graduate Colloquium in Biblical and Early Christian Studies

This group meets at Keble College on alternate Wednesdays over breakfast in Hall (8.15-9.45 a.m., beginning in Week 2), to discuss issues and texts in the development of biblical and early Christian faith and practice.  Feel free to contact me for further details. 

The topical focus varies, but may include 
  • Jewish or early Christian primary sources
  • Classic or important recent publications
  • Research in progress by members of the group.
Suggestions for future work are always welcome. A small archive of past programmes is being developed here. 

MICHAELMAS TERM 2009

We will be reading Origen, Against Celsus. I will introduce the first meeting on October 21st, and will then be asking for volunteers to lead subsequent sessions.  The schedule is approximately as below; please prepare the text to be covered in advance.

Given the length of the text, we will be using primarily the English translation of Chadwick 1953 (pbk 1980 and later reprints), though with at least periodic reference to the Greek. The Greek text is ed. Koetschau in GCS vols 2-3; the Sources Chretiennes edition (ed. M. Borret) is here (on TLG, accessible in Oxford).
