Theological seminar: Biblical Philosophy

elementary

PS_W12

The purpose of the course is to familiarize the participants with the method of interpretation of the biblical text and help to understand its character and specificity. The special emphasis will be placed on extracting these aspects of selected biblical passages that may be of use to those who study philosophy or psychology. The analysis and interpretation of Bible passages is intended to enable participants to perceive the value of the biblical narrative, its universality, timelessness, and to make its existence known. Classes will be workshops and exercises and will provide the opportunity to work individually with the biblical text in accordance with the proposed interpretative method. It should be treated as a complement to the program of philosophical or psychological studies, extending the perspective of the subjects covered during the said studies.

Each class will be devoted to the interpretation of one biblical passage. The key word will also be proposed as an "interpretation key" for the fragment data, symbolically capturing the main thought of the text being interpreted. The proposed interpretation will be discussed by participants in the classes. During the interpretation of the text, interpretation will also be presented. Participants should familiarize themselves with the biblical excerpts selected for the interpretation of each activity (see the range of topics).
