Learning objectives
The Laboratory has a dual purpose. On the theoretical and methodological level, it plans to introduce the students to the complex story, philosophical first and then critical, which, starting from the objections of the English deism to the theological reception of biblical literature, led to the research on the "historical Jesus".
On the critical and descriptive level, the Laboratory aims to present the unsolved items and the elements that criticism has enhanced in view of a "biography of Jesus of Nazareth" and to recover his prophetic message. This latter will be a subject of special attention and a moment of synthesis of the entire didactical path.
The Laboratory intends to stimulate students to reflect on a research topic of significant interdisciplinary dimension (historical-philosophical; historical-theological; critical-literary and historiographic), covering a story whose "cultural weight" is easy to evaluate.
The transversal didactic architecture of the exhibition itinerary will also be enhanced to encourage students to become familiar with the organization of collective exhibition itineraries to the normal teaching of the history of thought. From this point of view, the Laboratory will certainly be a useful professional exemplum
Expected learning outcomes
The workshop aims to develop the following skills:

Critical thinking skills:
By the end of the workshop, students will display a sufficiently independent critical approach in selecting and interpreting the notions that are most relevant their area of study and to the broader socio-cultural context in which they operate

Communication skills:
By the end of the workshop:
- students will be able to effectively communicate the acquired knowledge and disseminate it to the general public;
- student will have developed basic IT skills concerning knowledge preservation and transfer.

Learning skills:
By the end of the workshop, students will have developed the learning skills required to continue their studies in keeping with their own research interests. In order to meet this objective, students will also develop relevant skills in the independent interpretation of sources and in the use of basic IT tool for bibliographic research.
