SUMMARY:The 6th International Symposium on Biblical Exegesis (ISBE 2026)
DESCRIPTION:PROGRAM\nSCHEDULE\nBOOKLET\n  \nFrom 12 to 14 November 2026\, Timișoara will host the sixth edition of the International Symposium on Biblical Exegesis (ISBE 2026)\, an academic event organised by Fr. Dr. Iosif Stancovici (West University of Timișoara\, Romania)\, Dr. Ljubica Jovanović (American Public University System\, Charles Town\, West Virginia\, USA)\, Fr. Dr. John Applegate (University of Manchester\, United Kingdom)\, and Fr. Dr. Ioan Mihoc (West University of Timișoara\, Romania). \nThe theme of this year’s symposium is “As for Me and My House\, We Will Serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:15): Shechem in Scripture\, History\, and Tradition Across the Ages. The conference will offer an interdisciplinary exploration of the biblical\, historical\, and theological significance of Shechem\, a place of particular importance in the history of the people of Israel and in the religious traditions associated with it. \nThe symposium will bring together 39 biblical scholars\, theologians\, and researchers from numerous countries\, including Romania\, Israel\, the United States\, Canada\, the United Kingdom\, Russia\, Armenia\, Greece\, Italy\, France\, Switzerland\, Germany\, Poland\, Hungary\, Croatia\, and Serbia. Bringing together Jewish\, Samaritan\, and Christian perspectives\, ISBE 2026 will provide an international forum for dialogue on the biblical text and its historical\, theological\, rabbinic\, patristic\, liturgical\, and cultural reception. \nThe three-day programme will take place online via Google Meet. The sessions will address a wide range of topics\, including the presence and significance of Shechem in biblical narratives\, traditions associated with the patriarchs\, the history and identity of the Samaritan community\, the reception of biblical texts in Jewish and Christian traditions\, and the representation of biblical places and events in art. \nAmong the subjects to be explored are the theological significance of the commitment to serve the Lord in Joshua’s farewell address; exegetical traditions concerning the patriarchs Jacob and Joseph; the memory of Shechem in the New Testament and its interpretation in patristic literature; and the relationship between Samaritan identity and the message of the Gospel of John. Particular attention will also be given to the living Samaritan tradition through the participation of Mr Abood Cohen\, a representative of the Samaritan community of Nablus. \nDrawing on fundamental biblical texts\, including Genesis\, Joshua\, Judges\, the Acts of the Apostles\, and the Gospel of John\, the presentations will explore how Shechem has remained\, throughout the centuries\, a significant place of encounter between biblical memory\, religious identity\, and the confession of faith. \nThe sixth edition of the International Symposium on Biblical Exegesis continues the academic initiative established in Timișoara in previous years\, further strengthening dialogue between international biblical scholarship and the theological traditions represented at the symposium. Through its scholarly and interdisciplinary approach\, ISBE 2026 seeks to contribute to a deeper understanding of Holy Scripture and to the appreciation of its spiritual\, historical\, and cultural richness. \nParticipation and Online Access \nThe symposium will be held entirely online via Google Meet. Researchers\, academics\, students\, and all those interested in biblical studies are warmly invited to attend the presentations and participate in the discussions. \nGoogle Meet access link:\nhttps://meet.google.com/meet/odx-xyvt-ktr \nThe organisers look forward to welcoming participants from around the world to three days of scholarly exchange and fruitful dialogue.
