UCSIA/IJS-Leerstoel 2013-2014: Is There a Judeo-Christian Tradition?
International Workshop
12-13 februari 2014
Universiteit Antwerpen, Hof van Liere
Prinsstraat 13, 2000 Antwerpen
Although the term “Judeo-Christian” is used frequently and in many contexts, it is by no means a self-evident concept and has a fascinating and loaded history. This workshop will explore the historical and present usage of the term as well as its theological, philosophical and political implications for an understanding of the relationship between Judaism and Christianity and for other religions as well as other intercultural and interreligious dialogues.
Keynote speakers:
Prof. dr. Israel Yuval (Hebrew University of Jerusalem) en
Prof. dr. Ada Rapoport-Albert (University College London)
