Reading the New Testament Within Judaism?
9:30am-1:00pm ET, June 10-12, 2025
The New Testament within Judaism Conference will be divided into two parts. Part I will focus on Paul, Mark, and Revelation “within Judaism,” and will take place from June 10-12. Part II will take place from September 15-17 and will focus on the remaining New Testament/early Christian works (Matthew, Luke/Acts, John, James, Hebrews, and other works).
Both parts of the conference will discuss the following questions: Why do you think that text x should or should not be within Judaism? What are the criteria for determining that a text is or is not within Judaism? What changes when a text is read within Judaism?
Part I: Paul, Mark, and Revelation “within Judaism”?
Chairs: Gabriele Boccaccini, University of Michigan, and Isaac W. Oliver, Bradley University
