Annotation
This subject is taught in Czech.
The course deals with formative texts of Jewish and Christian tradition, the Bible and the texts it inspired. It starts with the question of a canon ("a holy book") and its function for the identity of a community. It deals with the historical circumstances of both what the Bible narrates about and how it itself emerged. Introducing the concepts of the Old and New Testament and the texts of emerging Church and Synagogue, the role of the discourse fixed in the Bible shall be elucidated.
