RELGST 1644 - CHRISTIAN MUSLIMS JEWS IN THE MIDDLE AGES: CONNECTION & CONFLICTMinimum Credits: 3 Maximum Credits: 3 The emergence of Christianity from Judaism and the implications of the relationship between Christianity and Judaism have been of critical importance in the history of Europe and the world and both Christians and Jews continue to grapple with the theological, political, and cultural impacts of that relationship in today's world. This course surveys the relationships between Jews and Christians from the time of Jesus through the modern era, as viewed by Jews, Christians, and sometimes those in neither category. Topics include the Jewish origins of Christianity; rabbinic views of Christianity and church fathers' views of Judaism; the status of Jews and Jewish communities in the roman empire and in medieval Europe, medieval persecution of Jews; interreligious disputations and polemics; the impact of the reformation and the enlightenment; Jewish-Christian relations in modern 'secular' states; the rise of new forms of anti-Semitism; the holocaust; and post-holocaust dialogue and new theologies of interreligious encounter. We will discuss not only the significance of Jewish-Christian interactions for European and American history but also assess Jewish-Christian relations as a case study in the broader history of religious diversity, pluralism, and conflict.
