The University of Wroclaw is pleased to invite you to attend the upcoming
X International Biblical Conference
‘The Bible, the Apocrypha and forms of popular devotion in translation, interpretation and tradition’
The guiding theme of the 2023 conference will focus on apocryphal biblical accounts, including legends, hagiographic tradition and accounts of popular devotion, with a special interest in the translation, interpretation and reception of the texts and their relationship to the Holy Scriptures. The conference will be held on 12-13 May 2023 at the University of Wrocław Research Centre in the former Evangelical Church at plac Tadeusz Kościuszki in Odolanów (12 May) and at the University of Wrocław Science Centre at ulica Raszkowska 21 in Ostrów Wielkopolski (13 May).
We invite all those interested to attend the conference: theologians, philologists, historians and other researchers, for whom the topic is close to and constitutes the subject of their scientific research, thus related to the biblical text, apocryphal literature and the tradition that has developed around them.
