Semester: 2
Planned timetable:
This module will explore the development of one or more themes (e.g. temple or covenant) through the biblical texts. Proper attention will be paid to the historical-critical dimensions of these themes, including textual/philological detail and background, but the module will be particularly concerned with the ways in which they develop across the Testaments and are taken up into Christian theology, providing frameworks and concepts for different elements of this. Post-biblical Jewish interpretations may also be examined as part of the study, but the module will be specifically oriented towards the significance of themes in the Bible for Christian theology. The specific theme(s) to be covered in a particular year will be publicised in the module handbook for that year.
