(required level of language proficiency: Englisch B2)

The John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin (KUL) has made it its mission to conduct research in harmony between science and faith. The strong link to the Christian faith and the Church has made the university a special community of professors and students united in their joy of seeking the truth. The priorities of the KUL are research and education on the highest level, combined with educating young people with regard to moral values.

The Theological Faculty of the KUL consists of eleven academical institutes, two inter-faculty institutes, and 40 chairs. One of those institutes is the Institute of Biblical Studies, which is an integral part of the faculty. The scholars of the institute work in the fields of the Old and New Testament, Second Temple literature and Semitic languages. Their goal is to deepen and to further the knowledge of the Bible on a scientific level. The study programme at the faculty therefore contains numerous Bible courses offered by members of the Institute of Biblical Studies. In their mission to deepen the scientific understanding of the Bible, the institute‘s scholars use a wide range of methods for their research (historical-critical, narrative, and historical exegesis). They also engage in the translation of targumic texts, a unique program pioneered by the institute, as well as in translating Qumran writings.

The scholars of the Faculty of Theology at the KUL engage in international dialogue with other theologians. They have been taking part in numerous academic conventions and symposia, for example in Italy, Germany, the USA, the UK, Switzerland or France, and the faculty also maintains relationships with many universities and institutions outside of Poland, the Maria Assunta University in Rome and the Konfessionskundliches Institut des Evangelisches Bundes in Bensheim are only two examples of many.
