Beyond Canon Podcast
12 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 1 year ago - ★★★★★ - 1 ratingWelcome to the Podcast-page of the DFG Centre for Advanced Studies (FOR 2770) “Beyond Canon_” at the Universität Regensburg. The Collaborative Research Group (CRG) of “Beyond Canon_” is focusing – the name is already giving it away – on literary traditions beyond the biblical canon, on their diverse, often material forms of expression and starting points in “lived” and “popular” religion, on their functions in the many diverse contexts of religious life as well as their significance in the ritual life of the churches. Our interdisciplinary approach on apocryphal traditions allows us to meet and bring together a broad variety of scholars from different fields and disciplines, who all have one thing in common: their shared research interest in Apocrypha. On this channel, we warmly invite you to immerse yourself with us in stories and interviews that lead us beyond the biblical canon.
