Annotation

English

The aim of the course is to present and discuss new findings from the research in Israel in which PTF CU regularly participates and to compare them with what we know from the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible. In addition to working with the biblical and other texts, emphasis will be laid on archaeological findings in the areas of iconography, architecture, and pottery. In addition to the course supervisor, the course will be attended by experts in these fields, namely Prof. Thomas Wagner (University of Wuppertal) and Dr. David R. Moulis (PFT CU).
