ELCOME LETTERS
Dear Colleagues,

C
ongratulations on being selected for this 2016 iteration of the Logos program, and on being
invited to join the Logos Fellowship. I’m delighted to welcome you to Oxford, and look
forward to joining you later in person. I pray this will be a rich time of learning and fellowship
for each of you.
Both the Logos program and the Logos Fellowship reflect the heartfelt desires of our patrons, the
Green family from Oklahoma City, to assist in mentoring the next generation of textual scholars by
providing opportunities both for research (in connection with the Museum Collection) and for
reflection (in a context that affirms the primacy of Scripture and the enduring value of the historic
creeds of the church for the life of faith). In many respects the Logos program exemplifies the classic
idea of fides quaerens intellectum, ‘faith seeking understanding’, and we hope that your time in Oxford
will in some way assist you towards that goal. After Logos, the Logos Fellowship will keep you in
contact with others on the same journey, a network of like-minded colleagues wrestling with similar
issues and challenges as you seek faithfully to live out God’s call on your life, regardless of where that
may take you.
Again, congratulations on your selection, and best wishes for your time in Oxford.
Blessings,
Michael Holmes
Executive Director, Scholars Initiative
Museum of the Bible supports scholarship and academic research through the Scholars
Initiative, which brings together established and young scholars to pioneer groundbreaking
research on items in the Museum Collection. Formed in the summer of 2010, Scholars Initiative
allows the world’s leading textual scholars to research and produce scholarship on items in the
Museum Collection while mentoring students. More than 60 universities around the world are
currently participating in the Scholars Initiative, and others are in the process of joining.

Dear Logos scholars,
On behalf of SCIO, we congratulate you
on your selection to this event and
warmly welcome you to Oxford where
our team has been actively engaged since 1991.
We hope the coming fortnight of lectures,
workshops, excursions, cultural experience,
and community enriches you and your study
of the Bible. At SCIO we have the great
pleasure of working with the Green family and the Museum of the Bible Scholars Initiative on multiple
projects: creating and managing research projects in the UK on Museum Collection and Green
Collection artefacts, advising on curatorial presentations in our areas of scholarship, working with
them on the special focus of the Bible and science, and co-authoring some of the exhibit guides, and
the like. But in particular, we take special delight in designing and running the Logos in Oxford
conference each year; it stands out as our central activity in support of the Scholars Initiative.
We are grateful to be part of such a dynamic vision to draw burgeoning scholars into critical
discussions and opportunities for serious research, thus making the tools of research available rather
than reserving them for only the most seasoned, international scholars. We share this commitment to
the formation of new generations of scholars. But beyond the enriching research, we have witnessed
(and been part of) the formation of enduring friendships, intellectual development, vocational
discoveries, and the deepening of faith. We are grateful for the Museum’s trust and partnership and
look forward to another rich year of working with them and you.
All this we do coram deo.
