SUMMARY:The Ten Commandments: Who What When Where Why
DESCRIPTION:For over two thousand years the Ten Commandments have been understood as the fundamental set of divine laws in the Hebrew Bible. Even for those who do not believe that Moses wrote the Pentateuch\, the Ten Commandments have retained their place as especially ancient\, and especially important in the religious and communal life of Israel. In this lecture\, Joel Baden will explain why this is\, essentially\, all wrong – and how we should understand\, and grapple with\, the true origins of these most famous words. \n  \nCo-sponsored by the Alan D. Leve Center for Jewish Studies and its Bible and the Ancient World Seminar Series \n  \nProf. Joel Baden works widely in the field of Hebrew Bible\, with special attention to the literary history of the Pentateuch. He is the author\, most recently\, of The Book of Exodus: A Biography (Princeton University Press\, 2019). His other books include J\, E\, and the Redaction of the Pentateuch (Mohr Siebeck\, 2009); The Composition of the Pentateuch: Renewing the Documentary Hypothesis (Yale University Press\, 2012); The Promise to the Patriarchs (Oxford University Press\, 2013); The Historical David: The Real Life of an Invented Hero (HarperOne\, 2013); Reconceiving Infertility: Biblical Perspectives on Procreation and Childlessness (with Candida Moss; Princeton University Press\, 2015); and Bible Nation: The United States of Hobby Lobby (with Candida Moss; Princeton University Press\, 2017). He is the co-editor of the volumes The Strata of the Priestly Writings: Contemporary Debate and Future Directions (TVZ\, 2009)\, Sibyls\, Scriptures\, and Scrolls (Brill\, 2017)\, and The Oxford Handbook of the Pentateuch (with Jeffrey Stackert; Oxford University Press\, 2021).  \nCurrent projects include editing The Routledge Handbook of Marginalization in the Bible and a special issue of the journal Religions devoted to the Hebrew Bible\, race\, and racism\, along with writing forthcoming commentaries on Deuteronomy (IECOT)\, Exodus (Anchor)\, and Lamentations (Oxford). \nProf. Baden has published numerous scholarly articles and essays. He has also written widely for a popular audience\, in venues such as The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, The Atlantic Monthly\, Slate\, The Los Angeles Times\, Politico\, CNN\, and The Daily Beast.   \n  \n[gravityform id=”125″ title=”false” description=”false”]

SUMMARY:Losing Control of the gods: How Religion Slipped Out of the Hands of Men in the Early Roman Empire
DESCRIPTION:The dignified and extravagant public rituals of Romans – ancestral institutions as the last generations of the Republic imagined them – definitively failed in the last century BCE. Future senatorial priests presided only over the cults of a city that was less and less a capital. In place of a narrative of early imperial religion that sets the worship of the emperors at its center\, I shall argue for a systemic shift in the religious order\, a disintegration of authority that reflected much wider changes in the nature of Roman culture. \n  \nReferences \nBeard\, Mary\, John North and Simon Price (1998).

Before then he directed the Institute of Classical Studies in the School of Advanced Study in London for six years\, and before that was Professor of Ancient History at the University of St Andrews. He is a Fellow of the British Academy and has held visiting appointments in Brazil\, France\, Germany\, Italy and Spain. His work straddles the fields of ancient history and archaeology\, and he has published on a range of cultural historical subjects from the history of libraries and the impact of Roman imperialism on ancient societies to (more recently) numerous studies of Roman religion and Roman urbanism. His most recent books are the second edition of Rome. An Empire’s Story (Oxford 2022) and (with his long term collaborator Jörg Rüpke the edited collection Religion in the Roman Empire.) He is a member of the Faculty Advisory Committee of the Center for the Study of Religion. \n  \n  \n  \n[gravityform id=”126″ title=”false” description=”false”]

SUMMARY:Wolakota kagapi: The Study of Peace Making on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation
DESCRIPTION:Unfortunately\, the Center for the Study of Religion must postpone this event due to extenuating circumstances. We apologize for the inconvenience\, and look forward to welcoming you at our next event. \n  \nThe Oglala Lakota Peace Making Team\, was instrumental in putting together a number of training sessions for community members to become Peace Makers. The tribe developed a Peace Making Room in the new court house. The Peace Making room is used for Peace Making for the community membership. \nA Peace Maker has a vision for the future\, knows traditional ways\, shares and develops leadership\, serves and protects the tribal community\, develops trust\, and shows respect for all tribal people. Native communities are centered on culture\, spirituality\, language\, and stories. They are not centered on financial profit\, politics\, or religion. These elements of culture are important for explaining the practice of (Wolakota) Peace making. \n  \nRichard Iron Cloud Ph.D.\, Oglala Lakota\, Richard is a founding member of the Oglala Lakota Peace-Making Team. A group of Oglala Lakota individuals who came together to look for alternatives to the Colonial System of Justice. Richard has been involved in social justice issues\, researching systems of oppression in its various forms. Richard believes in looking out for others needs rather than one’s own\, such behavior is salient in the Lakota (ounye) way of life. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n[gravityform id=”127″ title=”false” description=”false”]

SUMMARY:Antisemitism in the Pagan World
DESCRIPTION:What counts as antisemitism? Did antisemitism exist among Greeks and Romans? How far and how deep did hostility to Jews extend in the pagan and pre-Christian world? What impact did it have on Jewish experience in the period of the Second Temple? In short\, was there a “Jewish problem” in Greco-Roman antiquity? \n  \nCo-sponsored by the Department of Classics\, History Department\, and the Alan D. Leve Center for Jewish Studies \n  \nErich Gruen is Gladys Rehard Wood Professor of History and Classics\, Emeritus\, University of California\, Berkeley. His research and writing have been primarily in Roman history\, Hellenistic history\, and Jews in the Greco-Roman world. He has published or edited 14 books\, the most recent of which is Ethnicity in the Ancient World – – Did it Matter? (2020). Most important\, he has supervised or served on the PhD dissertation committees of over 100 students\, most of whom are now teaching in various colleges and universities in this country and abroad. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n[gravityform id=”128″ title=”false” description=”false”]
