Annotation

Last update: Mgr. Eliška Vančová (29.05.2020)

The seminar is aimed at mastering the methods of biblical exegesis, i.e. analysis and interpretation of the New
Testament texts. Selected passages are analysed first in terms of their linguistic form and than with respect to their
contents. The students will be introduced to particular exegetical approaches and methods and will get acquainted
with the relevant instruments as dictionaries, grammars, commentaries and specialised studies. The methods that
will be exercised include historical criticism, structural analysis, narrative and reader-response criticism, social
criticism etc.
The condition for passing the seminar for each student is an exegetical study (paper) individually prepared.
