Description

Kursens innehåll

De textsamlingar som i kristen tradition kallas Bibeln har tillkommit under mer än tusen års tid. Under denna kurs bekantar vi oss närmare med både Gamla och Nya testamentets innehåll, tillkomsthistoria och teologiska idéer.

Vi studerar hur texterna kommit till i dialog med sina historiska sammanhang, hur israeliter och senare judar och kristna funderat kring världen, Gud och historien. Vi ägnar oss närmare åt att lära oss förstå de världar texterna växte fram i – den antika främreorientaliska miljön där den israelitiska religionen blev till, och den grekisk-romerska världen där den unga kristendomen tog sin form.

Vi bygger vidare på inledningen till Bibelvetenskapen från grundkursen i religionsvetenskap och teologi, och går långt djupare in i det vetenskapliga studiet av de bibliska texterna och deras värld. Vi övar oss också i att använda olika tolkningsmetoder för att förstå texterna och se hur olika sorters material som ryms inom Bibelns pärmar: historieskrivning, poesi, hymner, brev, uppbyggelseberättelser, vishetslitteratur och mycket mer. Vi funderar kring hur både lika och olika vi är dem som skrev de bibliska texterna – och kring hur två- eller tretusen år gamla berättelser kan påverka nutiden.

Included parts

Note!

This course is not open as a freestanding course next semester. It can be open for application within a programme or for students in an exchange programme. Please ask your academic advisor for information.

How to apply

Lund University uses a national application system run by University Admissions in Sweden. It is only possible to apply during the application periods: October–January for autumn semester and June–August for spring semester.

Extended application deadline

Sometimes the application deadline is extended for a specific programme or course. In these cases you will find the message "open for late application" by the programme/course information on universityadmissions.se. You apply with the usual application steps. As long as this message is showing, it is possible to apply, but late applications are processed in order of date, so it is still important to apply as soon as possible. Please note that if the programme/course does not have an extended deadline, it is not possible to apply late.

First or Second Admission Round?

All international students are encouraged to apply to the First admission round. This round takes place many months before the start of a semester and gives students the time they need to pay their tuition fees, apply for and receive their residence permit (if required), find housing, etc.

The Second admission round is an alternative for students from EU/EEA countries as they do not need a residence permit. Non-EU/EEA students will most likely not have enough time to obtain their permit before the start of the semester. However, even EU/EEA students are advised to apply during the First admission round, as some programmes can be applied for only in the January round. Also, this provides applicants with an admission decision much earlier, which is helpful in making decisions about their studies.
