Three-Part Online Mini-Course: The End of the World
This three-part, online mini-course for the public will be held Tuesdays, December 3, 10, and 17. Taught by Jenny R. Labendz, the Bildner Visiting Scholar for fall 2024, the course will compare and contrast Jewish and Christian ideas about the end of the world through an exploration of several topics: divine judgment, resurrection, and the inauguration of the end-times. The course will challenge widespread assumptions about how rabbinic Jews and early Christians thought about God’s plan for the world.
