ABOUT THE EVENT
In recent decades, Jewish theologians, responding in part to overtures from Christians, and building on precedents recovered from their tradition, have articulated a range of Jewish theological approaches to Christianity. This lecture will review some of these approaches and attempt to develop a new one.
Please join us for a reception at 6PM.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Tzvi Novick, Abrams Jewish Thought and Culture Professor of Theology, University of Notre Dame Professor Novick completed a B.A. from Yale University with a degree in philosophy. After a very brief but instructive legal career, and an MA in Hebrew Bible from Yeshiva University, he enrolled in the PhD program in Religious Studies at Yale, from which he graduated in 2008 with a focus on early rabbinic Judaism (ca. 2nd to 6th c.). Professor Novick has taught at Notre Dame ever since, on subjects ranging from the Bible to modern Judaism and post-Holocaust literature and theology.
