Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course offers an introduction to the basic concepts and most important methods of scientific interpretation of the Bible using Old and New Testament texts. Selected methods of exegesis are presented, tried out and discussed. The students' own hermeneutic approach as well as the contextuality of any interpretation and its significance for the interpretation of the Bible, including as Holy Scripture, play an important role for the seminar.
The primary goals of the course include the acquisition of the ability to critically deal with exegetical specialist literature, the ability to apply the most important methods of exegesis to biblical texts in practice, as well as increasing independence in the formation of judgments on specialist biblical discussions and different hermeneutical concepts.
Methods: Lecture by the seminar leader, joint testing and discussion of the most important methods in the introductory seminar, independent application of the method steps to selected biblical texts (individually, in pairs and in groups), writing of an overall interpretation in the form of an e-portfolio. The presence phases in the proseminar are supplemented by independent work on the text ("blended learning" via Moodle).
