    Information

    Aims, contents and method of the course

    Objective:
    Students will be familiar with the classical canon of historical-critical methods and will be able to explain individual methodological steps. They will be able to apply the historical-critical method to New Testament texts, to analyse them independently with the help of primary and secondary literature, and to interpret them using newer exegetical approaches to textual interpretation. On successful completion of the course they will be able to write a paper on the subject matter of the course, justifying their own exegetical decisions and examining the research opinions of others.
