On 11-13 September 2023 Lund University will host an International Symposium on “Judaism and Trajectories of Religious Interaction: From the New Testament to the Qur’an.”
The symposium traces the development of Judaism from the first century CE when adherence to Jesus was an orientation within Judaism through the emergence and formation of rabbinic Judaism in the second–sixth centuries to the rise of Islam in the sixth–seventh centuries with a particular focus on transition periods and shifting boundaries. It is divided into four sessions:
Beginnings: Jesus-orientation as an Expression of Judaism
Transitions: Jesus-Oriented Groups and the Formation of Rabbinic Judaism
Interaction between Jews and Christians
Transformations: Jewish and Christian Legacy in the Qur’an
The presenters come from University of Heidelberg, University of Wales, University of Cambridge, Université Laval, Lund University, University of Oslo, Bradley University, University of Tübingen and Stockholm School of Theology.
