This talk explores these responses and highlights their role in creating and maintaining distinct communities in the world of late antique Judaism. \n\nChristine Hayes is the Weis Professor of Religious Studies in Classical Judaica at Yale. A specialist in talmudic-midrashic studies\, Hayes is the author of three scholarly books: Between the Babylonian and Palestinian Talmuds\, recipient of the 1997 Salo Baron prize for a first book in Jewish thought and literature; Gentile Impurities and Jewish Identities\, a 2003 National Jewish Book Award finalist; and What’s Divine about Divine Law? Early Perspectives (Princeton University Press\, 2015). She has authored two introductory volumes (The Emergence of Judaism and Introduction to the Bible) as well as numerous journal articles. Hayes is active in professional and academic organizations\, and currently serves as Vice-President for program of the Association for Jewish Studies. \nSponsored by: UCLA Alan D.

The problem with these two platforms\, however\, is that despite being different and theological\, the Fourth Gospel is also mundane and topographically grounded\, conveying more archaeologically attested details than all the other gospels combined. If all sources for understanding the Jesus of history are to be considered\, John deserves to be in the mix; the question is how to do so and how to consider John’s content among the Gospels. \n  \nPaul N. Anderson serves as Professor of Biblical and Quaker Studies at George Fox University\, as Extraordinary Professor of Religion at the North West University of Potchefstroom\, South Africa\, and as Visiting Griset Professor of Bible and Christian Tradition at Chapman University (spring 2017). Author of over two hundred published essays and author or editor of a dozen books\, Anderson is a co-founder of the John\, Jesus\, and History Project. His contextual introduction to the New Testament\, From Crisis to Christ\, offers new paradigms for biblical interpretation\, and his books on John include The Christology of the Fourth Gospel\, The Fourth Gospel and the Quest for Jesus\, and The Riddles of the Fourth Gospel. His Ph.D. is from Glasgow University\, and he has served as a visiting professor or scholar at the Radboud University of Nijmegen (Fulbright Specialist)\, the Guttenberg University of Mainz (DAAD)\, Princeton Theological Seminary\, and Yale Divinity School. He edited Quaker Religious Thought and Evangelical Friend\, and he is the New Testament editor of the Biblical Interpretation Series (E.J. Brill)\, the co-editor of the Johannine Monograph Series (with Alan Culpepper\, Wipf & Stock)\, and founding editor of the Quakers and the Disciplines Series (Friends Association for Higher Education). \n[gravityform id=”9″ title=”true” description=”true”] URL:https://religion.ucla.edu/event/spirituality-jesus-new-milennium-fourth-quest-jesus/ LOCATION:Humanities Bldg\, Rm 348\, 348 Humanities Bldg\, Los Angeles \, CA\, 90095\, United States ORGANIZER;CN="Sunny Kim":MAILTO:sunnyhjkim@humnet.ucla.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170426T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170426T133000 DTSTAMP:20170321T163405Z CREATED:20170321T163058Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170321T163405Z UID:2700-1493208000-1493213400@religion.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Book Talk: Muslims and the Making of America: A Conversation DESCRIPTION:There has never been an America without Muslims.
