New CSBS (Canadian Society of Biblical Studies) Three-year Seminar

“Early Christianity, Early Judaism and the Study of Religion”

This three-year seminar will explore ways in which early Christianity and Judaism and the wider study of religion might fruitfully interact.

It will consider issues from both sides of the divide: first, how approaches to religious phenomena in general might illuminate, destabilize and refocus the study of early Christianity and Judaism; and second, how data drawn from the latter might generate new insights into the more general study of religion. Interrogation and, where useful, reformulation of familiar categories will in all cases be encouraged.

Contact person for this seminar is Stephen Wilson
