The course will explore issues related to the idea of revealed religion, starting from the non-exclusive example of the Christian religion. It will do so on two axes:
1.More generally, it will ask in particular the following questions: Can a revelation claim the truth? How can divine revelation happen in history? What is the place of interpretation in the reading of inspired texts?
2. Theologically, it will deal with the relationship between faith and revelation, the phenomena of canonization, and the theologies of inspiration
