Coffee Lecture: Jewish Roots of Christianity

Join Dr. Paul Mojzes for a special evening coffee lecture through Rosemont College's non-credit program, the Forum. For centuries Christians had a very ambiguous and even antagonistic attitude toward its mother-religion of Judaism. It culminated in the Deutsche Christen movement under Nazism that Arianized Jesus. Christian Biblical scholars after the Holocaust re-discovered the Jewish roots of Jesus and other early Christians in a positive light.  Our understanding of apostolic Christianity makes it possible to celebrate the common roots of Christians and Jews in the emergent vigorous Jewish-Christian dialogue. Never before in 2000 years of common history have the relationships between these two faiths been better.
