Religion og forståelse
No full textThe essay represents the author's inaugural lecture held on 7 December 2001 as a professor at the Department of the Study of Religion. The essay is partly a summary of the author's recently published monograph En religion bliver til, partly an elaboration of one of the main theses of the book. The development of early Christianity is closely related to a need for interpretation. Looking at 1 Cor 1:18-25; Rom 11:25-27; Matt 13:9-17; Mark 8:14-12 and Luke 24:13-32 Bilde attempts to find tracks in the early Jesus-texts that indicate the efforts of the Jesus-movement to understand and interpret Jesus, his message, fate and importance.</jats:p

Main trends in modern Josephus research
No full textJosephus was a Jewish historian during the 1st century in the Roman Empire. In the Christian church, Josephus received recognition as a crypto-Christian Nicodemus character, a kind of Jewish church father similar to Philo, or a kind of fifth evangelist. In late antiquity and the Middle Ages of Europe he was respected and esteemed as a great author and historian. For example, a man like Hieronymus would describe him as the Jewish Livius. During this period, admiration of him was nearly uncritical, and the work of scholars consisted primarily in carrying on the tradition by constantly creating new editions and translations. The first slight signs of critical attitude appeared at the end of the Middle Ages, when one gradually began to take note of and comment on Josephus’ deviations from the text of the Old Testament in his rendering of biblical history
Historien og fortællingen
No full textIn his doctoral dissertation, “Den Kristne Grundfortælling” (The Fundamental Christian Story), Svend Bjerg pleads for the intimate connexion between Christianity and narrative. Christian belief is created by narrative, and the New Testament texts have to be understood as narrative, and treated as such. At the same time Historical Criticism of the Bible is rejected as a false way of treating Biblical narrative.In his article, the author proves that Svend Bjerg uses the category “story” with so wide a content that is loses its value as a concise category. Secondly, he shows that Svend Bjerg’s picture of Historical Criticism is not adequate. He critizises Svend Bjerg’s contraposition of story and history and he demonstrates how Svend Bjerg himself is unwilling to draw the consequences of his own view of Historical Criticism. The contraposition of story and history, therefore, is not helpful.</jats:p
