The two main foci are Judaic Studies, aiming to deepen the knowledge of Judaism with an emphasis on the study of rabbinic literary production, and of which the study of Biblical and/or modern Hebrew is part of this formation; and Jewish-Christian relations, focussing on the development of a Christian Theology of Jewish-Christian relations, with the objective of exploring shared areas on aspects of spiritual experience and ethical commitment.
Licentiate in Judaic Studies and Jewish-Christian Relations: The Licentiate aims to offer a solid and multifaceted preparation on Judaism. It also promotes the development of a theology of Jewish-Christian relations and forms students in this field.
