DESCRIPTION:Date: 17 June 2026 \nTime: 14:00\nVenue: Lecture Room 1\, Chri
 st Church\, Oxford (also available via Zoom — link on request)\n\nProfes
 sor William Schniedewind (Distinguished Professor of Biblical Studies and 
 Northwest Semitic Languages\; Sady and Ludwig Kahn Director of the Alan D.
  Leve Center for Jewish Studies\, UCLA) will be in Oxford on 16–17 June 
 for three lectures spanning the Hebrew Bible\, the Dead Sea Scrolls\, and 
 the Septuagint. This paper argues that the Greek Bible reflects not only A
 lexandria but also the institutional and theological world of Jerusalem 
 — the rise of synagogues\, the public reading of Torah\, and the growing
  understanding of Scripture as the fixed "word of God."
