KINGS AND POWER: EXPLORING JEWISH TEXTS IN THEIR HELLENISTIC CONTEXTS*

Workshop at the University of Helsinki, 3 to 4 December, 2016

Keynote speakers: Katell Berthelot (Centre national de la recherche 
scientifique, France)
                               Joan Taylor (Kings College London, UK)

The goal of the workshop is to contribute to the discussion what was 
Hellenistic Judaism. The presentations of the meeting will contextualize 
Jewish texts dealing with kingship and power taking into account that 
Judaism and Hellenism are not two separate entities; rather, Jewish 
texts were written within their various Hellenistic contexts. The plural 
“Hellenistic contexts” highlights the numerous forms that Judaism took 
in the late second temple period.

More information to follow about the call for papers during the summer 2016.
