The Leon Morris Lecture in New Testament Studies 2025
Paul and Papyri
Join us for the Leon Morris Lecture in New Testament Studies 2025 on 21 July 2025.
Archaeological excavations in Egypt have unearthed thousands of ancient everyday papyrus documents written in the same kind of Greek as the New Testament. This lecture will demonstrate how these “voices from the sand” shed exciting new light on Paul’s letters.
See you there!
Speaker
