The International Organization for the Study of the Old Testament (IOSOT) is a scholarly association dedicated to researching and understanding the Old Testament, which is the first part of the Christian Bible and also a key text in Judaism. It brings together biblical scholars, theologians, and students from around the world to share research, discuss interpretations, and promote the academic study of the Old Testament's historical, literary, and cultural contexts. Through conferences and publications, IOSOT aims to deepen understanding of these ancient texts and their ongoing influence.
