bibelhistorik
Bibelhistorik is a term often used in Scandinavian countries, particularly Denmark and Sweden, to refer to the historical study of the Bible. It encompasses the academic and critical examination of the biblical texts, their origins, development, and the historical context in which they were written and transmitted. This field is distinct from theology, which focuses on the doctrines and beliefs derived from the Bible, though the two are often related and overlapping.
The discipline of bibelhistorik employs methods from various academic fields, including history, archaeology, philology, literary criticism,
Bibelhistorik also explores the history of the biblical text itself, including how different manuscripts were created,
