‘Speaking of the Pharisees’ (April 2022)

A VIRTUAL INTERRELIGIOUS DIALOGUE (2-3:30 pm EDT, 28 April, 2022)

Chairs: Gabriele Boccaccini, Archie Wright

Secretary: Joshua Scott

Language: English

The focus of this discussion is the intersection between research and public understanding of the Pharisees. Recent scholarship, including The Pharisees (Sievers & Levine, 2021), recognizes both the historical role of the Pharisees within the life of early Judaism and the eventual merging of “Pharisee” and “Jew” in our cultural imagination. However, this research has not yet found a place in popular discourse, where “Pharisee” and “pharisaic” remain terms of disapprobation and where such negative usage can convey antisemitic impressions. A collection of world experts will explore how scholars and laity may present the Pharisees in teaching and preaching.

Speakers:

• Harold Attridge
• Kelley Coblentz Bautch
• Philip A. Cunningham
• Mireille Hadas-Lebel
• Susannah Heschel
• Amy-Jill Levine
• Hermut Löhr
• Steve Mason
• Scot McKnight
• Craig Morrison
• Adele Reinhartz
• David Rosen
• Joseph Sievers
