In this course, we will read and discuss texts of the New Testament and
apocryphal texts with a special focus on the fascinating subjects of
dying and death. What thoughts and ideas regarding to these topics are
found in Early Christianity? In which way are situations of death
described? What happens to the body, what happens to the soul? What
about the afterlife?
But we will not only focus on the content of the texts but also on
the English language itself. In this course, you will get the chance to
polish up and/or to broaden your English skills. We will have plenty of
time to repeat grammatical phenomena and to expand your vocabulary. Even
if you might consider your English skills on a very low level, please
join our course. We can agree on the final content, level and pace of
our course in our introductory meeting.
