            * 3. General concept of doctoral examinations
            ******************************************************************************************


            Partial and State doctoral examination in Old Testament
            Both the Partial Exam in the discipline of the Old Testament and the State Doctoral Exam (
            47, paragraph 4 of Act 111/1998 on Higher Education) are similar in content, differing onl

            expertise and specialization required.
            The exam typically consists of three parts (see below: A - B - C). Prior to taking the exa
            semester of participation in a doctoral seminar is usually required (see above, News). No 

            week before the exam date, the doctoral candidate must submit written preparations for par
            translations of texts, explanatory notes with a summary, list of references) and a list of
            parts B and C.


            A. Textual exegesis: Exegesis of two unrelated and genre-different sections of the candida
            (approximately 40 verses in total). Requirements comparable to the exegesis for the state 

            Master's level (see the Old Testament Department website). Beyond the requirements for the
            the candidate's overview of the history of research, knowledge of alternative hypotheses, 
            of interpretive and interpretative approaches are particularly observed and appreciated.


            B. Overview of Old Testament theology: Study of one of the comprehensive publications on O
            (or "biblical") theology from the post-1990 period; its critical characterization and plac

            context of the current international discourse in the field, placement in trends (critical
            context).


            C. Individual thematic areas:
            1. "Theology" (in the narrower sense; de Deo) of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament - specific
            uniqueness (possibly in contrast to the Christian theological tradition).

            2. "Anthropology" of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament (idem).
            3. "Ecclesiology" of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament - various concepts of "Israel," "peopl
            etc., internal differentiation and external demarcation.

            4. Adapted individually according to the focus of the research project
            5. Adapted individually according to the focus of the research project
            The candidate chooses the literature at their own discretion (the choice of literature is 

            evaluated aspects).
