OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
This talk explores the Antioch Bible’s Syriac-English edition of the Peshitta New Testament. As the first complete, scholarly translation of the Peshitta into contemporary English, the Antioch Bible bridges historical Syriac tradition with modern linguistic precision. This presentation will discuss the translation’s methodological approach, its balance between literal fidelity and accessible English, and its role in advancing Syriac studies. Special attention will be given to how the Antioch Bible engages with textual variants, historical context, and its contribution to both academic scholarship and ecclesiastical communities.
