International Organization for the Study of the Old Testament
The International Organization for the Study of the Old Testament ( IOSOT ) is an international company of Alttestamentlern . It was on September 2, 1950 to one of the Dutch Oudtestamentisch Werkgezelschap convened Congress of Alttestamentlern in Leiden , established initially under the name "The International Organization of Old Testament Scholars" to permanently provide a forum for international and interdenominational exchange in the Old Testament To offer science whose necessity in Europe after the Second World War was undeniable.
The organization has no formal membership and has limited itself from the beginning to two goals: The implementation of international Old Testament congresses and the publication of an international journal for the Old Testament. The IOSOT congresses have been held every three years since then.
The journal published by IOSOT has been published quarterly since 1951 under the title Vetus Testamentum and is still one of the most important journals in the field. It contains articles and reviews in English, German and French. Since 1953 it has been supplemented by a series of monographs, Supplements to Vetus Testamentum , in which the congress volumes on the IOSOT congresses also appeared, beginning with the volume for the first IOSOT congress in Copenhagen in 1953 , which was also the first volume in the series.
