Beginning today and for six weeks, I am teaching a course in Biblical Sciences for second-year Unistra Master’s students. The theme is the Construction of a Conquest Account in the Book of Joshua. It will of course deal with the famous battles taking place when the people of Israel enters the promised land, Canaan. After a global structural analysis, we will examine in details one of these episodes in order to assess its redactional history and theological purposes. This course will take place every Monday from 11:00 to 12:30.

As of September 1, 2009, I am now Associate Professor at the University of Strasbourg. This prestigious university is the largest in France, and the only one to include a Faculty of Theology.
