Elias Sacks - Does Christianity Matter for Judaism — and Vice Versa?

Professor Elias Sacks, Associate Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder presents his lecture, "Does Christianity Matter for Judaism — and Vice Versa?" before an audience at Temple Kol Ami (www.templekolami.org/) in Scottsdale, AZ. ABOUT THIS LECTURE: What can Christians learn from Judaism, and what can Jews learn from Christianity? What do we have to gain from inter-religious dialogue, and what challenges can such conversations pose? To what extent does a commitment to Judaism or Christianity benefit from – or even require – an engagement with the other tradition, and what sorts of risks might arise from these encounters? We will explore diverse answers to these questions, wrestling with sources from the New Testament to works of post-Holocaust theology.
