Figural Interpretation in the Gospels – Hijacking Israel’s Scriptures?
A workshop with Richard B. Hays, Dean of Duke University Divinity School, George Washington Ivey Professor of New Testament
Thursday 1 May, 5.00 p.m.
Keble College, Oxford
On this occasion Prof. Richard B. Hays, one of today’s best-known New Testament scholars and the Dean of Duke Divinity School, will lead a workshop on ‘Figural Interpretation in the Gospels’. The presentation will synthesize and bring to a point Prof. Hays’ recent series of Hulsean lectures in Cambridge on the Gospels’ Old Testament interpretation – drawing on material included in his forthcoming book on Scripture in the Gospels (Baylor University Press, 2014).
Our aim, as always, is to set out theology’s ‘shop window’ in order especially to attract present and potential graduate students, and to demonstrate that engagement with theology’s subject matter is both interesting and important.
