KINGS AND POWER: EXPLORING JEWISH TEXTS IN THEIR
HELLENISTIC CONTEXTS</b>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, Arial,
Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Workshop at the
University of Helsinki, 3 to 4 December, 2016 <br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, Arial,
Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> Keynote
speakers: Katell Berthelot (Centre national de la
recherche scientifique, France)<br>
Joan Taylor (Kings College
London, UK)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, Arial,
Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> 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.<br>

to follow about the call for papers during the summer
