\u201cJesus the Jewish Storyteller: Of Pearls and Prodigals\u201d
\n<\/strong>Thursday, March 22 at 7:00 p.m. in the Reilly Room in Atherton Union, Butler University<\/em><\/p>\n

Storytelling is central to our religious traditions. Renowned biblical scholar Amy-Jill Levine<\/a> will help us understand the original setting of these stories and correct their frequent anti-Jewish interpretations. Her work on this subject provides a grounding for better Jewish\/Christian understanding and offers profound insight into both ancient and contemporary social relations. Dr. Levine will answer questions from the audience and sign copies of her books.<\/p>\n

Dr. Levine is a renowned New Testament Scholar who orients to the text through a Jewish lens.\u00a0 Her scholarship is insightful for understanding Judaism, Christianity, and how the two relate to one another.\u00a0 She is the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Professor of New Testament Studies at Vanderbilt University and is the co-editor of\u00a0The Jewish Annotated New Testament<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

This program is supported by the Beth-El Zedeck<\/a> Judaism, Arts, Interfaith and Civic Engagement Fund in Honor of Rabbis Dennis and Sandy Sasso.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Those familiar with Levine\u2019s publications will recognize the connection to one of her recent books, Short Stories by Jesus: The Enigmatic Parables of a Controversial Rabbi<\/a><\/i>, about Jesus as Jewish storyteller understood in an ancient Jewish context. I have to say that, with the religion program at Butler being a relatively small one, we don\u2019t bring New Testament scholars to speak on campus very often. And so this is doubly a treat from my perspective, since a visit by Levine would be something fantastic in any context \u2013 but in my own, it is all the more so. Indeed, I hope that the event is so successful and well-attended that it inspires organizations at Butler to plan more such events in the future!<\/p>\n
