The interdisciplinary seminar on the Jewish Roots of Eastern Christian Mysticism is designed as the internet version of an ongoing research seminar of graduate students at the department of theology of Marquette University (Milwaukee, USA). The seminar is directed by Andrei Orlov, a professor of Judaism and Christianity in Antiquity (Marquette University).
The seminar started in March 2002 as an attempt to investigate Jewish mystical traditions in the eastern Christian theological and liturgical texts. It was thought that the seminar would help initiate and inspire the discussion about the Jewish influences on eastern Christian mysticism among a broader audience. The internet version of the seminar was constituted on April 17, 2002. Currently the seminar is not confined solely to the students of Marquette University but also includes participants from various scholarly communities. Themes are announced and resources pertaining to them are posted on this webpage. Shofar: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Jewish St. Hebraic Political Studies. A List of the 613 Mitzvot (Commandments) Messiah Truth: A Jewish Response to Missionary Groups. Messianic Judaism: A Christian Missionary Movement Messianic Judaism is a Christian movement that began in the 1970s combining a mixture of Jewish ritual and Christianity.
There are a vast and growing numbers of these groups, and they differ in how much Jewish ritual is mixed with conventional Christian belief. One end of the spectrum is represented by Jews For Jesus , who simply target Jews for conversion to Christianity using imitations of Jewish ritual solely as a ruse for attracting the potential Jewish converts. On the other end are those who don't stress the divinity of Jesus, but present him as the "Messiah. " They incorporate distorted Jewish ritual on an ongoing basis. The movement has received criticism from mainstream Christian leaders, for these groups claim to believe in the New Testament and yet gloss over the distinction between the two communities instituted in that work, and for the deceptive tactics used to gain Jewish converts.
Jesus of Nazareth: The False Messiah. Jewish & Other Imperial Cultures in Late Antiquity - Introductio. An Online Exhibition from the Center for Advanced Judaic Studies 2007-2008 Fellows at the University of Pennsylvania Introduction This year has been the Center's first sustained focus on Judaism in Antiquity, and we aimed to study in a decidedly interdisciplinary mode. Instead of a year on the rabbis and their world, we have focused instead on the imperial context of which Judaism was but one small piece. How does this perspective change the sort of evidence and questions we bring to this era of seminal transformation in Jewish culture, law, society, art, and practice? Natalie Dohrmann.
