| This programme focuses on Biblical and extra-biblical texts that can be seen to mirror religious transformations in changing contexts. The research concentrates on (1) the interpretation of a number of key texts which mirror important religious transformations; (2) different levels of interpretation and re-working of early Christian and Jewish texts; (textual history of canonical and extra-canonical texts, apocryphal, patristic and [post-]modern interpretations), and (3) their historical, religious and hermeneutical backgrounds. |
