            The PhD program in Biblical Theology assumes that applicants have completed an MA in Theol

            subject. Advanced knowledge of biblical languages (Biblical Hebrew and Greek), mastery of 
            of scholarly work in biblical studies and competence in the literary, historical and theol
            the biblical traditions and their critical study are assumed and required.


            A dissertation in Biblical Theology may deal with a variety of topics related to the Old o
            Testament. It may follow a plethora of methodologies. Using advanced historical-critical a

            may seek to reconstruct the literary origins of the Bible or its parts in the context of a
            Eastern and Hellenistic history. It may deal with the history and archaeology of a particu

            period. It may attempt to interpret concepts contained in the Bible, thus venturing into a
            or a New Testament theology. It may trace the processes of transmission, interaction and r
            particular motifs or texts. It may focus on the interpretation of biblical passages and th

            the intellectual history of humanity.

            If the nature of the dissertation project requires it, the student will take an examinatio

            ancient or medieval language (e.g. Akkadian, Aramaic, Coptic, or Church Slavonic) during t
            or her study.
