The Exegesis of Eden, Exile, Exodus, and Existential Economics.
Linguistics is another story, but the Bible is really about energy, the energy of existential eucharistic economics or if it isn't, what is it worth, literally?
Biblical exegisis is a rational historical study of the Bible.
One need not believe anything to find it instructive;
those who are Christian see it as part of what Pope Saint John Paul II called the "salvific pedagogy".
He himself was from Poland, a country so poor they faced down tanks with mounted cavalry think about this for a moment, think about the men, and horses, that had to do that.
Karol had many pedagogical guides: he loved Grignion de Montfort, he was a Carmelite in the tradition of Elijah, a disciple of Juan de la Cruz and teresa of avila, was a great fan of Frassati, and moreover, listened not only to his annointed preacher Cantalamessa but also his studious German theologian Ratzinger, who in turn studied under the same schools of philosophy as Edith Stein: the simple, clear thinking, mathematically based phenomenology of Edmumd Husserl
In depth bible studies are conducted by the Frassati Fellowship from time to time.
The materials presented here are not theology. They are based on the curricula of Philosophers and Historians and even priests who were not necessarily believers, and blended with the practical advice and adaptations of farmers who by and large could not read and got their religion by listening to the Mass.
The sacrifice of Jesus, if true, would logically be the most powerful cultural force in the universe, so it's worth it for a university to give the recorded history of it some serious attention.
