Conversion, Covenant and Hope in the human future: New Frontiers in Jewish and Christian Thought
Van Leer Institute Jerusalem 13-14 February 2011
Is it desirable for gentiles to convert to Judaism? Is there a place for Christianity and Christians in the covenant between God and the Jewish people? On what basis can Jews and Christians hope for a better future between them and for the world?
This International Conference is co-sponsored by The Van Leer Jerusalem Institute and the Institute for Theological Inquiry (ITI) of the Center for Jewish-Christian Understanding and Cooperation (CJCUC) in Efrat. It centers around the original research project of ITI scholars on the topics of ?Covenant, Mission and Relation to the Other? and ?Hope and Responsibility for the Human Future.? As the capital of the Jewish people, the birthplace of Christianity and the locus of so much international religious conflict, Jerusalem is the ideal venue for discussions of conversion, interreligious relations and hope for the future of civilization.
Apparently we are going to be live-streamed to the world. So if you have any questions about civilisation or about the human future, just ask.
