Next EBS (with ESOM)
April 29th to May 1st, 2023
in Pruhonice (near Prague)
Topic:
"The letter of Paul to the Galatians"
Have you ever wished for a deeper understanding of a Bible book? Do some Biblical texts seem too far removed from the concerns and conflicts of today’s world? Have you ever been confused by the erudite language of Paul? Do the links between the Old Testament and the New Testament sometime seem mysterious? To what extent can exegesis, hermeneutics and history be useful and interesting?
If you can relate to any of these questions, come to the next EBS session in Prague!
We are pleased to welcome Dr. Andrew Boakye of the University of Manchester to EBS.
