Biblical Studies. Peter Oakes recently attended the annual meeting of the Society of New Testament Studies (SNTS), held this year in Marburg, where he chaired one of the papers. The Oberhessische Presse (1.8.19) dedicated a half-page spread to the opening because the last meeting there, in 1954, chaired by Rudolf Bultmann, marked a key step of reintegration of post-war German biblical scholarship into international discourse. Another paper was presented by Fred Tappenden (PhD Manchester, 2012), who is now Principal and Professor of Theology at St. Stephen’s College at the University of Alberta, Canada. 30 July - 2 August.
