Panel discussion featuring Prof. Zev Garber
Zev Garber is Emeritus Professor and Chair of Jewish Studies and Philosophy at Los Angeles Valley College. He is the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of two academic series, Studies in Shoah (UPA) and Shofar Supplements in Jewish Studies (Purdue UP), and serves as Co-Editor of Shofar.
There is a general understanding within religious and academic circles that the incarnate Christ of Christian belief lived and died a faithful Jew. In the context of pluralism, in the temper of growing interreligious dialogue, and in the spirit of reconciliation, encountering Jesus as living history for Christians and Jews is both necessary and proper. Prof. Garber’s presentation reaches out to all who seek new ways of understanding Jesus in his religious and cultural milieu.
Discussants include:Dr. Thomas Ryba, Notre Dame Theologian in Residence, St. Thomas Aquinas CenterDr. Stuart D. Robertson, Adjunct Professor in the Department of Philosophy and Continuing Lecturer in Biblical Hebrew at Purdue University, and Pastor Emeritus, Faith Presbyterian Church
