  • Press Release
    Press Release Berlin December 4, 2014 SeptemberNovember 2013 November20132014 “…..Höhere Wesen befehlen” The Frieder Burda Collection at the Deutsche Bank KunstHalle From December 5, 2014 to March 8, 2015, the Deutsche Bank KunstHalle is showing a selection of works on paper from the Frieder Burda Collection that have been rarely shown so far. The KunstHalle is presenting 113 drawings, watercolors, and goauches from 1955 to 2009 by Georg Baselitz, Willem de Kooning, Sigmar Polke, Arnulf Rainer, Neo Rauch, and Gerhard Richter. Over a period of decades, Frieder Burda has passionately built one of the most important private collections in Europe, extending from Abstract Expressionism to current inter- national positions. It all began with the Italian avant-garde painter Lucio Fontana in 1968. At the Documenta, Frieder Burda discovered a bright red canvas with three incisions in it. The entrepreneur from Germany’s famous printing and publishing dynasty couldn’t get the painting out of his mind. It became the cornerstone of the collection. The first artist shown in the exhibition is Willem de Kooning, representing the heroes of Abstract Expressionism. The main part features four artists of whom Burda is one of the world’s most important collectors: Georg Baselitz, Sigmar Polke, Arnulf Rainer, and Gerhard Richter. The exhibition concludes with early period works on paper by Neo Rauch, who renewed figuration as the first painter of a reunited Germany. With this selection of works on paper, the Deutsche Bank KunstHalle commemorates the 40th anniversary of the Burda Collection and the tenth anniversary of the Museum in Baden-Baden by continuing a series that is dedicated to drawing—a long-neglected medium that today characterizes contemporary artistic discourse more than any other – from different perspectives.

  • 1 Calvin and Witsius on the Mosaic Covenant
    1 1 Calvin and Witsius on the Mosaic Covenant J. V. FESKO hen it comes to the Mosaic covenant, an ocean of ink has been spilled by theologians in their efforts to relate it both to WIsrael’s immediate historical context and to the church’s exis- tence in the wake of the advent of Christ. Anthony Burgess (d. 1664), one of the Westminster divines, writes: “I do not find in any point of divinity, learned men so confused and perplexed (being like Abraham’s ram, hung in a bush of briars and brambles by the head) as here.”1 Among the West- minster divines there were a number of views represented in the assembly: the Mosaic covenant was a covenant of works, a mixed covenant of works and grace, a subservient covenant to the covenant of grace, or simply the covenant of grace.2 One can find a similar range of views represented in more recent literature in our own day.3 In the limited amount of space 1.

PROFESSOR HOLM ES R O LSTON II I HE Confession of 1967 in the United Presbyterian Church marks the official end of the four-century Presbyterian venture into covenant theology. Now past that milestone, perhaps we have reached a vantage point where we can turn dispassion• ately to survey that curious but historic route. Seen from its concept of responsible man, we here argue, that route has been a prolonged detour away from the insights of the Reformers. The Westminster Confession remains, of course, the prime con• fessional document of Presbyterians outside the United Church, for instance in the Scots and British parent churches, or with southern cousins in the Presbyterian Church, U.S. Even in the United Church, the Westminster Confession remains in the show• room of creeds. But we have recently seen a breach in the federal scheme so long embraced in Presbyterian confessional statements, a breach that marks the scheme where it yet re• mains officially as a theological anachronism no longer re• garded seriously but to be suffered as historical background. With the hold of federal theology officially broken, we can challenge afresh the assumption that the Calvinism of the Westminster Confession is true to the Reformer himself.

Ari Hoffman Dissertation Advisor: Professor Elisa New Professor Amanda Claybaugh This Year in Jerusalem: Israel and the Literary Quest for Jewish Authenticity This dissertation investigates how Israel is imagined as a literary space and setting in contemporary literature. Israel is a specific place with delineated borders, and is also networked to a whole galaxy of conversations where authenticity plays a crucial role. Israel generates authenticity in uniquely powerful ways because of its location at the nexus of the imagined and the concrete. While much attention has been paid to Israel as a political and ethnographic/ demographic subject, its appearance on the map of literary spaces has been less thoroughly considered.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 307 180 SO 019 860 AUTHOR Shermis, Michael, EC. TITLE Teaching Jewish-Christian Relations in the University Classroom. PUB DATE 88 NOTE 127p. 7UB TYPE Collected Works - Serials (022) JOURNAL CIT Shofar; v6 n4 Sum 1988 EDRS PRICE MF01/PC06 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Annotated Bibliographies; Anti Semitism; Biblical Literature; Biographies; *Christianity; *Cultural Exchange; *Cultural Interrelationships; Educational Resources; Higher Education; *Judaism IDENTIFIERS Israel; Jewish Culture; *Jewish Studies; WiesP1 (Eli) ABSTRACT This special issue on "Teaching Jewish-Christian Relations in the University Classroom" is meaAt to be a resource for those involved in Jewish studies and who teach about Jewish-Christian relations. It offers an introduction to the topics of the Jewish-Christian encounter, Israel, anti-Semitism, Christian Scriptures, the works of Elie Wiesel, and available educational resources, all in light of the Jewish-Christian dialogue in institutions of higher learning. Carl Evans presents a syllabus for a course in which students are required to converse with local clergy in order to explain the Jewish-Christian dialogue at the grass-roots level. This technique helps students develop mature ways of thinking on a personal, social, and religious level. Robert Everett and Bruce Bramlett discuss Israel's problematic existence, raising numerous points that can lead to effective classroom discussions. Alan Davies describes his, course on anti-Semitism and presents several practical suggestions and instrumental techniques. John Roth offers a short biography of Elie Wiesel's J.ife, his writings, and his paradoxes. Norman Beck provides a model of how a Christian teaches the Christian Scriptures, offering guidelines that are highly supportive of and sympathetic to the Jewish-Christian dialogue.

  • Overthrowing Vengeance: the Role of Visual Elements in V for Vendetta
    Overthrowing Vengeance: The Role of Visual Elements in V for Vendetta Pedro Moreira University of Porto, Portugal Citation: Pedro Moreira, ”Overthrowing Vengeance: The Role of Visual Elements in V for Vendetta ”, Spaces of Utopia: An Electronic Journal , nr. 4, Spring 2007, pp. 106-112 <http://ler.letras.up.pt > ISSN 1646-4729. Introduction The emergence of the critical dystopia genre in the 1980s allowed for the appearance of a body of literature capable of both informing and prompting readers to action. The open-endness of these works, coupled with the sense of critique, becomes a key element in performing a catalyst function and maintaining hope within the text. V for Vendetta , by Alan Moore, with illustrations by David Lloyd, first published in serial form between 1982 and 1988 and, later, in 1990, as a graphic novel is one of such works. Appearing during the political climate of Margaret Thatcher’s conservative government, it became a cult classic amongst graphic novels readers and collectors. A film adaptation was released in 2006, from a screenplay by the Wachowski brothers, to different reactions from the graphic novel’s creators; Moore withdrew his support and denied any involvement in the adaptation while David Lloyd publicly confessed his admiration for the movie. I first became interested in the series due to its gritty realism, and the enigmatic, cultured figure of the protagonist. In fact, V for Vendetta ’s universe is quite distant from the comic book genre, which is dominated by God-like figures such as Superman or Spiderman. Also, the sheer scope of reference in the work, ranging from Blake and Shakespeare to the Rolling Stones and The Velvet Underground, added to my interest, making it the subject of this paper.

  • Jerusalem and the Abrahamic Faiths
    Course Venue: Committee Hall (Room No. 128), SIS II, JNU Date: 9-17 November 2016 Time: 4:00-7:00 PM 1 Overview The aim of the course is to outline and examine in a scholarly, impartial way the long, complex relations among Muslims, Christians and Jews in various periods and areas with a special attention to the question of Jerusalem. Religiously and culturally the old city of Jerusalem and its Temple Mount have been sacred to Jews, Christians and Muslims for centuries. Under Muslim rule the Jewish and Christian minorities in Jerusalem were allowed for long periods to pray at the religious shrines, but not on the Temple Mount. In contrast, under the Byzantine rule (324-638) Jews were not permitted to reside in Jerusalem; and during the Crusades (1099-1187) most Jews and Muslims were forcibly evicted from Jerusalem. Otherwise Muslim attitudes to Jews and Christians in Jerusalem and elsewhere were ambivalent: rejection and antagonism, tolerance and cooperation, depending on various circumstances and differing from period to period. However, with the emergence of the Jewish and Arab nationalist movements in the late 19th century, Jerusalem has gradually took the centre stage and become a site of nationalist political dispute aggravated by the religious and cultural differences, with the Christian Arabs siding with Muslims against Jews. Following Israel's occupation of East Jerusalem and the Temple Mount in the June 1967 War the Muslim-Jewish and Arab-Israel conflict has further exacerbated, leading to growing Muslim Judeophobia and the emergence of Jewish Islamophobia. Christians have remained divided on this issue.
