Main research activities
The exegesis of the Old Testament deals with the writings of the Hebrew Bible and ancient Judaism from a literary, linguistic, historical and religious-historical perspective. At the same time, these texts are read as part of the Christian Bible. Old Testament exegesis thus stands at the intersection of theology, philology and history.
Our work focuses on Jewish literature from the Hellenistic-Roman period and the Septuagint, ancient forms of local self-regulation in the case of weak statehood, and the dialogue between Judaism and Christianity.
There is a Jewish Studies library
