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.

Psalm 44 and the Book of Job: God on Trial
Several times in the Hebrew Bible, especially in the latter Prophets, we find a God’s “lawsuit” against his unfaithful people (depicted as an adulterous wife or a rebellious son). Psalm 44 and the book of Job are two of the few examples of Israel’s “lawsuit” against God, with the same structure of the original model. In these two examples, Israel puts God on trial, showing a unique relationship with his God, with no parallel in the Ancient World. This session will discuss the stages of Israel’s lawsuit in Psalm 44 with its parallel passages in the book of Job.
