The course will introduce students to the Bible and the two religions it founded, Judaism and Christianity.: presentation of the Torah and “the” Christian Bible (historical, philological, linguistic, literary, and theological approaches); of Judaism and Christianity, and of what is known as the “separation of ways"; of Christian theology through a selection of works and Latin texts from late antiquity and the Middle Ages, from the Passion of Perpetua and Felicity to Nicholas of Cusa. The relationship between the two religions will be studied with particular attention: it is necessary to honor the Jewish roots of Christianity and the chronological and ontological priority of Judaism.
