| The Bible Week |
 |
| |
For more than forty years Jews and Christians from Germany, England and Holland, from the USA, Israel or other countries, scholars and interested lay people, have come together at the Jewish-Christian Bible Week to study together biblical texts against a background of the two traditions. Until 2003 it took place at the Hedwig Dransfeld Haus, Bendorf/Rhine, since then in Haus Ohrbeck.
All who are interested in the Bible and in Jewish-Christian dialogue are warmly invited to participate in this special encounter with texts and people – longstanding participants and new ones alike.
|
|
| |
| Study Groups |
|
| |
The study groups in the morning address the issues raised by the texts, so that we can learn together. Jewish and Christian resource persons help with the text study, discussion and exchange of experience. All groups engage with the Hebrew text, but each has a different emphasis.
1. In-depth study of the Hebrew text (Hebrew knowledge is assumed)
2. Jewish-Christian Bible study
3. The biblical text and the contemporary world
4. Bible text: interpretation, exploration, creative response
|
|
| |
| Keynote Lecture |
|
| |
Three lectures address the topic from Jewish and Christian perspectives or with insights from literature, art, psychology etc. They will be given in the mother tongue of the speaker. A written translation of the text is available.
|
|
| |
