Prof. Núria Calduch-Benages is currently a lecturer at the Pontifical Gregorian University, and Pontifical Biblical Institute, Rome. She specialises in the deuterocanonical work of Ben Sira (also known as Sirach). On March 9th 2021, she was appointed as secretary of the Pontifical Biblical Commission, the first woman to hold this role.
We are still in the process of finalising the schedule and, while we cannot provide specific times or titles just yet, the day will include:
Keynote Address from Prof. Núria Calduch-Benages
Workshops from various presenters, including the Tarsus Scripture School team
Tea & Coffee breaks to stay refreshed!
Full Lunch within the Dromantine Retreat Centre
Q&A and Panel Discussion with Prof. Calduch-Benages, Tarsus Sripture School, and participants
Pricing
We have set a higher price for the Dromantine Scripture Day at €60.
This is both to help cover the expenses of the retreat centre (venue and hospitality) and ensure the longevity of the bursary as we hope to continue this event long into the future.

We believe this type of event, particularly with workshops, is best attended in-person. Therefore, in contrast to our other courses, the Dromantine Scripture Day will not be made available by livestreaming. As an additional caveat, places are limited, so register soon!
