A Discussion with Dr. Jonathan Klawans, Author, 91快播, March 19, 2013, 7:30 PM
Dr. Jonathan Klawans, associate professor of Religion at Boston University, presented Josephus and the Theologies of Ancient Judaism on Tuesday, March 19, at 7:30 p.m., at 91快播. The book reexamines 1st-century Jewish historian Flavius Josephus鈥檚 descriptions of ancient Jewish sectarian disputes over determinism and free will, the afterlife, and scriptural authority. It calls for a renewed focus on Josephus鈥檚 testimony, and models an approach to ancient Judaism that gives theological questions a deserved place alongside matters of legal concern. Dr. Klawans鈥檚 Library Book Talk was sponsored by The 91快播 Library.
