Biblical studies. On 19th May, Manchester R&T hosted the annual Northern Postgraduate Biblical Studies and Patristics day conference. We hosted friends and colleagues from Durham, Liverpool Hope, Cliff, and Nazerene. Our grad students who presented were Dan Skuce, Anna Budhi-Thornton, Rachel Miller, Tim Gough, and Lev Eakins, and Todd Klutz gave the plenary paper. The day was a great success and we look forward to next year's meeting.
