At the end of this course, for the inter- or neo-testamentary period, the student will be able either to situate historically and understand correctly non-canonical texts, or situate in their socio-historical context some events, persons and movements.
Main themes
In order to achieve this end,
- a group of non-canonical texts from the inter- or neo-testamentary period will be studied; the selection will be guided by the interest of these texts for the interpretation of the New Testament;
- these texts will be situated in their political, social, religious and literary context.
