Old Testament Exegesis: Jacob, that is, Israel--From Text Reading to Biblical Theology

Class at Protestant Theological Faculty |
RETA1043

Annotation

The aim of the course is to deepen knowledge of biblical exegesis with the help of selected texts from the Old

Testament.

The course is taught by distance learning on the moodle learning portal.

This year the course focuses on the Jacob cycle of Genesis (25:19-35:29), particularly on the interpretation and reception history of the narrative of Jacob's struggle at Jabbok (Gen. 32:23-33). Students are expected to study the discussed texts for each lesson on an ongoing basis, to read the recommended literature, and to prepare analyses, interpretations, and interpretive suggestions for the texts under discussion.
