Building Bridges: 60 Years of Jewish-Christian Dialogue at Seton Hall – Inaugural Event

The inaugural event of the year-long celebration “Building Bridges – 60 Years of Jewish-Christian Dialogue at Seton Hall” will take place on Wednesday, January 30, 2013, in Jubilee Hall Auditorium. Dr. Peter Schäfer, Perelman Professor of Jewish Studies at Princeton University, will lecture on “Two Powers in Heaven? The Emergence of Binitarian Ideas in Pre-Christian Judaism.”

From the invitation: “In 1953, Monsignor John M. Oesterreicher established the Institute of Judaeo-Christian Studies at Seton Hall. His labors and those of his associates throughout subsequent decades have had a profound impact on the Church’s relationship with the Jewish community at the local, national and international levels. Throughout this year the University will hold a series of events to celebrate, advance and expand this legacy of interfaith dialogue.”
