Generell informasjon
This introductory course in methodology has relevance for all theological disciplines. It introduces the students to methods and
principles applied also by other scientific disciplines relevant to theology. The course emphasizes historical and linguistic methods
usually applied in Biblical studies as well as the hermeneutical question of how to construct local theologies. Since doing theology
