At the Chair of Exegesis and Biblical Theology, “Teaching” refers not only to the range of university courses offered, but also includes reflection on teaching and higher education didactics. On the subpages, you will therefore also find information on the Chair holder’s profile in higher education didactics.
Exegesis engages with biblical texts and the worlds to which they relate. This includes the worlds within the texts, the worlds behind the texts, and the worlds in front of the texts. Biblical studies investigates both the historical contexts in which biblical writings emerged and their diverse contexts of reception—from antiquity to the postmodern era. It asks not only what the texts say, but also how readers understand them and how they communicate their interpretations.
At the Chair of Exegesis and Biblical Theology, research and teaching are closely interconnected. This integration benefits both instructors and students: when ongoing research is incorporated into the classroom, students engage directly with the latest scholarly findings and remain academically and hermeneutically up to date. Faculty members likewise benefit, receiving valuable initial feedback that can inform the publication process. At the same time, they are challenged to select their results with a focus on learning processes and to present their insights in a clear and accessible manner.
Here you will find the cycle of courses as planned through the summer semester of 2028. Please note, however, that changes may still occur, particularly in connection with the assignment of teaching appointments.
