Hawarden Seminar on the OT in the NT

Since the study of the OT in the NT often (always?) depends on the study of the particular text forms involved, and because I have fond memories of attending some of these conferences years back, I include this note here:

The Annual (Hawarden) Seminar on the OT in the NT The 2015 Annual Seminar on the Use of the OT in the NT will be held at Gladstone's Library Hawarden (http://www.gladstoneslibrary.org/) from the evening of Wednesday 25th to lunch time on Friday 27th March 2015. This is an opportunity for all those working in this field to come together to share papers, hear about any new developments and publications, and to network informally. Both established scholars and PhD students are very welcome, but places are limited to approx. 20.

If you wish to participate in this year's seminar, please contact the booking office at Gladstone's Library directly to book your room by telephone on 01244 532350 or by email to enquiries@glad.lib.org>; please note that you cannot reserve your place via the online booking system, as we have made a group booking. Please let the staff know when booking that you are part of the OT in the NT Seminar group, so that they can allocate you to one of the group's reserved rooms. The overall cost will be in the region of £175, depending on what "extras" you opt for (e.g. ensuite bathroom), and a small deposit will be required at the booking stage. When you have booked, please also email the seminar convenor, Susan Docherty on S.E.Docherty@newman.ac.uk> in order to be added to the confirmed list of participants.

Offers of papers are welcome, so please send the proposed title and a short abstract by 10th December 2014 to S.E.Docherty@newman.ac.uk>. There is no one overall theme to this year's conference, so all abstracts which relate to the general field of the OT in the NT will be considered. Proposers will be informed whether or not their paper has been selected in mid-January, and further details of the timings and running order will be provided then.
