Content
2022-2023
The setting of the Catholic epistles
The so-called Catholic epistles (1-2-3 Jn, 1-2P, Jude...) are often unknown and their production environment is highly hypothetical. From a precise reading of these different epistles, we will try to determine, by carrying out a work of internal criticism, in what context they could have been written. 
 
Teaching methods
The method will be participatory. Attendance is mandatory. Lectures alternate with group reading and presentations.
 
Evaluation methods
 Each student will take charge of all or part of one of the course sessions and analyze a pericope from one of the epistles.
