Dear FCLC students, I hope this finds you staying well and warm. As we continue to bear witness to the devastation in Turkey and Syria, please know that there are resources for you, whether you are seeking a way to help or seeking support yourself.

Separation Anxieties: Jews, Judaism, and the Creation of Christianity — Conflict Theory (Part 3) February 9 | 6 p.m. | McMahon 109 and online via Zoom From the late 20th century to the present, the process by which Christianity became an entity separate from Judaism is most often described by the metaphor “the parting of the ways.” Even those who critique the metaphor end up using it. This metaphor is built around the notion of conflict between ancient Jews and the Jesus community, but, like the “’mother-daughter” metaphor, it reflects the sensibilities of scholars at least as much as it does the ancient evidence. What does this mean for how we might talk about Christian origins in the future?
