Exegesis of the New Testament: Gospel of Matthew WT-SSTA-EN
The first goal of the classes is a comprehensive introduction to the current state of research on Matt.
The second goal of the classes, to which we will devote most of our time, is the exegetical analysis of selected fragments of Matthew, using various research methods. The lecture is conducted with the active participation of students in reading texts in the original language, their translation into English and multi-faceted interpretation.
