Application
We study Biblical texts from the per-spective of Jewish and Christian traditions and challenge it and our-selves through insights from literature, art, psychology and other dis-ciplines.
This year’s text: Psalms 31 – 41.
The study groups in the morning ad-dress the issues raised by these texts, so that we can learn together. Jewish and Christian resource per-sons help with the text study, dis-cussion and exchange of experi-ence.
We invite all those interested in the Bible and Jewish-Christian dialogue.

36th Jewish-Christian Bible Week
New location – New dates
Dear Friends of the Jewish-Christian Bible Week,
For 35 years the Hedwig Dransfeld Haus in Bendorf has been the home of the annual Jewish-Christian Bible Week. Many of you are aware that, as of last year, the Haus has been closed and is no longer available. However, we have found a fine new home in Haus Ohrbeck near Osnabrück.
We look forward to seeing you in Haus Ohrbeck.
The Team of the Jewish-Christian Bible Week.
