2023 Corcoran Chair Conference: "SHARED SCRIPTURE - DIVIDED FAITHS: The Medieval Jewish-Christian Encounter over the Hebrew Bible / Old Testament"
March 19-20, 2023
Ever since Christianity sought to define itself as distinctly different from Judaism, the paths of Judaism and Christianity have diverged. Yet what they retained in common was a large body of Scriptures, the Hebrew Bible, or Old Testament for Christians. This conference explored what the French scholar Gilbert Dahan has called “the encounter over Scripture,” the exploration of the shared textual heritage by Jewish and Christian scholars in the Western Middle Ages (c. 500-1500 CE), which opened the door to interactions between Christians and Jews, ranging from learned discourse to hostile confrontation.
