Logos: A Workshop on Biblical Texts and Manuscripts
Logos is a fully funded, two-week residential summer workshop for up to thirty advanced students. Alternating between Oxford (odd years) and Washington (even years), the programme combines lectures and workshops to deepen participants’ knowledge of biblical languages and textual studies. Logos aims to build an international scholarly network of promising Christian scholars in academia. Through a generous donation by Steve and Jackie Green, all costs, including fees and travel, will be covered for successful applicants and participants will receive a generous stipend.
Logos is creating an international community of Christian scholars. Previous workshops have welcomed promising scholars from North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia and it continues to cherish and promote its international breadth. Logos supports serious students endeavouring a life of scholarship in biblical and related textual studies, providing opportunities for them to enhance excellence in scholarship in conjunction with developing a vital Christian faith and serving the common good.
