When A Heretic Walks Into The House Of Study: Jewish Christian Interactions In Babylonian Talmud
A Rabbi and a heretic fight over a biblical verse. Bruria, one of the Talmud’s only female scholars, yells at a heretic that he will end up in hell. What is a heretic? What do these stories teach us about how the rabbis engaged with those they saw as ‘other’? We will explore previously untapped Christian materials to arrive at new interpretations of familiar texts and illuminate the complex relationship between Jews and Christians in Late Antiquity.
This course is a part of the Siegal Lifelong Learning Annual Week of Learning.
