Content
2019-2020
As the title indicates, the primary focus of the course will be the Bible. The course will focus more precisely on the ongoing dialogue between the Bible and Law keeping in mind that the majority of the students come from the Law Department. Within the contemporary cultural context, such a point of entry into the Bible cannot be developed without at least a general introduction to the Bible itself, to Biblical Law, before touching on the main objective of the course, which is the reading of the Biblical texts themselves. It is therefore intended that the course will demonstrate the originality of Biblical Law, its coherence, its richness, and its relevance as a source of inspiration in today's world. It is also hoped that the course will help in fostering theological and anthropological reflections and eventually linking them with the other components of the programme.
