Knowledge of the topics, problems and main positions on  questions of the origin and nature of the New Testament Scriptures as well as the ability to classify and evaluate different hypotheses in the field of Introduction to the New Testament.

The contexts of the 27 books of the New Testament (author, addressees, place and time of composition) and the (oral and written) history of their becoming literature are also part of the central themes of the Introduction to the New Testament as well as the question of the literary character, specific term shape and theological intention and the elucidation of the text- and passing-on-history up to the genesis of the canon. The lecture will address this wide range of topics and will elaborate on the most important writings of the New Testament.
