Commemorative Lecture: Theology WITH the New Testament.

Guestlecture by professor Dale B. Martin: Theology WITH the New Testament.

Professor Dale B. Martin, Yale University, is appointed as honorary doctor of the University of Copenhagen at the Annual Commemoration 20 November 2015. 

The same day he is presenting an open commemorative lecture at the Faculty of Theology. 

Prof. Martin has close contacts with the Faculty and he has played a leading role in inter­national scholarship on the New Testament for the last 25 years. 
What characterizes Prof. Martin’s scholarship is a unique combination of scholarly solidity on the one hand (‘back to the archives’!) and on the other a daring ability to connect with and ap­ply the most modern (or post-modern) approaches in contemporary humanities to the Bible. 

Prof. Martin has been a regular visitor at the University of Copenhagen at conferences from the 1990s onwards and with a full semester’s research stay as a Fulbright Fellow in the Fall of 2001.
