Department chair: Prof. Dr. Jacobus (Kobus) Kok
Studies in New Testament
Research in the department of New Testament focuses on studying how identity and boundaries were constructed in the New Testament and Early Christianity as well as the relationships between the various parts of the New Testament (Gospels, Acts, Pauline and Catholic Epistles) on the one hand, and other early Christian literature on the other. This debate deals with subjects such as pseudepigraphy, historiography, early Christian hymns and prayers, and baptism. This second line of research is followed mainly within the Research Centre for Early Christianity (RCEC) and in cooperation with the department of Historical Theology. The department also pays attention to teaching Greek in a Dutch-speaking context.
