In January 2016, I started a research entitled “What has Athens to do with Jerusalem?”, which is an interdisciplinary investigation on using spatial-temporal research in New Testament exegesis. The Ph.D. research seeks to contribute to both the disciplines of Geo-Information and New Testament research.
Therefore, I will develop a method to model temporal aspects of Geo-Information. The method will be proofed by applying it to the specific domain of New Testament exegesis. The developed method will be a generic solution for modeling time to be able to get more insights into the temporal aspects of Geo-Information. For the field of New Testament Exegesis, it will develop an alternative method for interpretation of texts by looking at the events from a spatial-temporal perspective. Proper attention will be paid to the field of hermeneutics as a linking pin in interpreting ancient texts by modern spatial-temporal research.
During my research, I am supervised by:
