Jesus of Nazareth told many Parables to his fellow Jews. Renowned biblical scholar Amy-Jill Levine will help us understand the original setting of these stories - an act of historical imagination - and correct their frequent anti-Jewish interpretations. Her work on this subject provides a grounding for better Jewish/Christian relations and offers profound insight into both ancient and contemporary social relations. Following her lecture, Dr. Levine will answer questions from the audience and sign copies of her books.
