OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Psalms with the Scribes
The event will feature Wycliffe’s own John Screnock, presenting his new publication. Expect an exciting new look at well-known biblical texts and meet the ancient Scribes through what we can see of their work. Though current scholarship has extensive knowledge of these ancient texts, there is much we can learn from the scribes of the Second Temple period. When we focus our attention on the places in the text where the scribes were at work — when we explore some of the paths that scribes have made in the text — we can consider psalms and other ancient Hebrew texts in new ways.
