Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Since the Babylonian Exile significant Jewish populations lived outside of Judah. Jews settled in many parts of the Roman empire. In antiquity, the Jewish diaspora developed religious and cultural concepts and ideas which influence Judaism as of today and which allowed for its survival until the state of Israel was founded. Until the time of the Arab conquest, this class wants to familiarize you with the history of the ancient Jewish diaspora, as well as with its culture, literature, and religion. We will also introduce you to key source texts.
Assessment and permitted materials
Because long-distance learning and the closed or only partly opened library make it impossible to prepare adequately for a normal exam, in this term students will have to write instead of a final term exam a brief essay of 2000 words. Please discuss critically one or two chapters of at least 20 pages from John Barclay's book Jews in the Mediterranean Diaspora. You should pay particular attention to the question if the book includes enmity towards Jews. Submission deadlines are July 15th 2020, October 15th 2020, December 15th 2020, and January 30th 2021.
