| Main themes |
In order to achieve these objectives, the instructor proposes reading certain chosen biblical texts, using a method that is clarified and justified in light of the present cultural context. In reading these texts, he/she develops a reflection on the biblical message about the human being in the world and about possible paths for life. The basic awareness of the plurality of religious and laic approaches protects the discourse from close-mindedness, opening it to different traditions and other approaches.
|
| Aims |
By the end of this course, the student should be able:
- to confront him/herself in a personal and critical way with the reflection developed during the lectures on the basis of biblical texts, and to argue his/her position, showing that he/she is conscious of the complexity of the questions at stake, also when confronted with various philosophical and religious traditions.
- to read a biblical text methodically, showing that he/she understands what is implied by such a process of reading and interpreting a text in the present context.

| Content |
As appears from its title, this course will be centered on the Bible, and, more precisely, on its least read part - at least on the Christian side - namely the Old Testament. In the contemporary cultural context, such an approach of the Bible cannot be considered without a minimum of a general introduction (4 h) before approaching the very finality of the course: the reading of the texts themselves. Since most students come from the Faculty of Law, priority will be granted to the study of legislative texts. Thereby we shall show the originality of biblical Law, its coherence and its richness, as well as its inspiring value for today. We hope to arouse theological and anthropological reflections and create links with other parts of the programme.
A course of 'biblical reading' cannot be conceived without an immediate access to the biblical text itself. Every student should therefore be requested to get a Bible for the whole course and bring it at each class. If you don't have any, please borrow your parents' or your grandparents'. Anyway, the passages to be read and studied can be downloaded from various websites such as : http://www.bibliotheque.editionsducerf.fr/
