28th Annual Robert Salomon Morton Lecture: David Nirenberg

Wednesday, April 7
7:00 - 9:00 PM

From their earliest origins to the present moment, Christians and Muslims have given shape to their faiths by interacting with and thinking about Jews and Judaism. How has that long history of thought contributed to anti-Semitism in the past and present? And what can the study of that history offer the future?
David Nirenberg teaches in the Committee on Social Thought and the Department of History at the University of Chicago, where he is also the Dean of the Divinity School. He has written widely about the ways in which Jewish, Christian, and Islamic cultures interrelate with each other. He is the author of, among other books, Communities of Violence: Persecution of Minorities in the Middle Ages.
