A Jewish-Christian Dialogue on Ethics
This Mini-Course has been postponed until Fall 2010. Dates and registration information will be posted when it is available.
In what ways do our respective traditions inform the search for the good, the just, the right? How do we flesh out our moral obligations? Delve into the ethical wisdom and moral imagination of Judaism and Christianity as we study the fundamental texts that inform our traditions.

Winter Mini-Course 2010
Steps Forward, Steps Back: The Unsettled World of Contemporary Jewish-Christian Relations
The last decade has presented many unexpected challenges and disappointments regarding the stability of Jewish Christian relations. As Jews interact with Protestants, Catholics and Evangelicals, each relationship has been in a state of flux. Join us for a lively mini-course during which we will study recent controversies regarding the state of Israel, mission and conversion, and changes in liturgy, for example, and how they affect contemporary Jewish-Christian relations.
Presented by ICJS Jewish Scholar Dr. Adam Gregerman with Dr. Christopher Leighton, Dr. Rosann Catalano and Rev. Jason Poling.
