Every odd year the International Society for the Study of Biblical and Semitic Rhetoric organizes a conference at the Pontifical Gregorian University (Rome). It is a great opportunity for scholars specialized in this specific field of exegesis to share the results of their research and discuss them with others. Among the participants there are also students, especially PhD students, in particular of the Department of Biblical Theology at our Faculty of Theology. The largest part of the conference is devoted to analysis of texts, mainly of the Bible - the Old and the New Testament -, but also of other Semitic texts such as the Quran, and even other texts widely influenced by biblical literature, as for example the Rule of St. Benedict. Finally, some methodological reflections are also included, to deepen some aspects of our exegetical methodology.
