SUMMARY:The Genesis of Good and Evil: The Fall(Out) and Original Sin in the Bible
DESCRIPTION:Genesis 3 is classically understood in Christian tradition as the biblical account of the Fall of humanity from divine grace\, resulting in humanity’s general sinful condition. As John Milton began his epic poem\, Paradise Lost: “Of Mans First Disobedience\, and the Fruit/ of that Forbidden Tree\, whose mortal tast/Brought Death into the World\, and all our woe/ With loss of Eden…“ But does Genesis 3 really support this cornerstone of Christian doctrine? This presentation will examine what this chapter does (and doesn’t) say about the morality of the first human pair’s actions in the Garden of Eden. It will also discuss how Genesis 4 and 6 signal a fall-out of sin and evil from the human actions in the Garden. This talk will also show what led to the traditional Christian reading\, as suggested specifically by the Dead Sea Scrolls and other texts in the Second Temple period. \n  \nMark S. Smith is Helena Professor of Old Testament Literature and Exegesis at Princeton Theological Seminary and Skirball Professor Emeritus of Hebrew Bible and Ancient Near Eastern Studies at New York University. He took Masters degrees from the Catholic University of America\, Harvard Divinity School\, and Yale University\, where he also completed his Ph.D.. Professor Smith works on God in the Bible\, the history of Israelite religion\, various biblical books (especially Genesis and Judges)\, and the literary texts of Late Bronze Age Ugarit. He is the author of over one hundred and twenty essays\, as well as sixteen books of his own and four co-authored books\, including The Early History of God: Yahweh and the Other Deities in Ancient Israel; The Origins of Biblical Monotheism: Israel’s Polytheistic Background and the Ugaritic Texts; God in Translation: Deities in Cross-Cultural Discourse in the Biblical World; Poetic Heroes: The Literary Commemoration of Warriors and Warrior Culture in the Early Biblical World; Where the Gods Are: Spatial Dimensions of Anthropomorphism in the Biblical World. His most recent book is The Genesis of Good and Evil: The Fall(out) and Original Sin in the Bible. \n  \nEvent Flyer\nRSVP Below:\n[gravityform id=”87″ title=”false” description=”false”]\n

SUMMARY:The ‘Religionization' of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
DESCRIPTION:There has long been a popular misconception that the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians is driven by religion. This is historically inaccurate\, but religion is having an increasing impact on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict today. In this talk\, Professor Dov Waxman will explore the growing role of religion in the conflict\, and the implications of this trend for the prospect of peace between Israel and the Palestinians \nAs of Jan. 1\, 2020\, Dov Waxman is Professor of Israel Studies\, Director of the UCLA Y&S Nazarian Center for Israel Studies\, and The Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Foundation Chair in Israel Studies. His research has focused on the Israeli-Palestine conflict\, Israeli foreign policy\, U.S.-Israel relations\, and Diaspora Jewry’s relationship with Israel. He is the author of several books on these subjects including\, most recently\, The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: What Everyone Needs to Know (Oxford University Press\, 2019). Previously\, Waxman was the Stotsky Professor of Jewish Historical and Cultural Studies at Northeastern University\, and a professor of Political Science\, International Affairs\, and Israel Studies. He also directed Northeastern’s Middle East Studies program and co-directed its Middle East Center. \nCo-Sponsored by the UCLA international Institute\, Center for Middle East Development\, Alan D.

SUMMARY:International Conference on Mahatma Gandhi
DESCRIPTION:This conference (January 30 to February 2\, 2020) aims to offer a scholarly\, critical\, and nuanced perspective on Gandhi. The conference follows the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi\, who is increasingly being studied as a philosopher\, religious thinker\, and critic of industrial modernity. It is\, for example\, little known that he pioneered a new form of what is these days called “interfaith” workship and diologe\, and througout his life he maintained extensive dialogues with Christian thinkers and missionaries\, Muslim theologians\, and activists of all stripes and hues. All events will be open to the public and the UCLA communityl. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAFFILIATED FACULTY: Vinay Lal\, Professor\, History; Carol Bakhos\, Professor\, Near Eastern Languages & Cultures\, Director\, Center for the Study of Religion \n\n\n\n
