Interaction and Dynamics between Judaism and Christianity in Historical Perspective: An Emic Mapping

Miriam Benfatto (Alma Mater-Università di Bologna) / Angela Cimino (Deutsches Historisches Institut in Rom / FSCIRE) / Margherita Mantovani (Universität Hamburg, Institut für Jüdische Philosophie und Religion)

 

Jewish-Christian interaction has existed since the inception of Christianity. Jews and Christians encountered and responded to one another over the centuries in a variety of contexts and fashions. These encounters had a significant impact on the experiences and cultures of both the Jewish minority and the Christian majority. The early modern period was a time of intense cultural and religious interaction. This panel will address the wide array of cultural, religious, and social dynamics shaping Jewish  experience  and  its  cross-cultural  connections  in  the  Christian  world. The significance  of  the  relationship  between  Jews  and  Christians  throughout  the  ages  has  become  even  more  marked  since  the  concept  of  dialogue  between  religions became popular in the period following World War II.This panel would like to explore the complex relationships existing between Judaism and Christianity and their internal perspectives over a broad spectrum of historical periods and methodological approaches. The aim of this panel is to disclose how the two religious systems experienced and addressed their proximity, considering the internal perceptions of their interaction from the early modern period onward.
