Studies in New Testament
Research in the department of New Testament focuses mainly on two lines of investigation. Firstly, within the canon of the New Testament, research is being conducted into the relationships between the various parts of the New Testament (Gospels, Acts, Pauline and Catholic Epistles). Secondly, the department joins in the current debate regarding the relationship between the canonical books and other early Christian literature. 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.
