'''Reading the New Testament Within Judaism?'''


Why do you think that text x should or should not be within Judaism? What are the criteria for determining that a text is or is not within Judaism?
The New Testament within Judaism Conference has generated so much interest that we have decided to split the conference into two parts. Part I will focus on Paul, Mark, and Revelation “within Judaism,” and will take place from June 10-12. Part II will take place from September 15-17 and will focus on the remaining New Testament/early Christian works (Matthew, Luke/Acts, John, James, Hebrews, and other works).
What changes when a text x is read within Judaism?

Reading the New Testament Within Judaism?

The New Testament within Judaism Conference has generated so much interest that we have decided to split the conference into two parts. Part I will focus on Paul, Mark, and Revelation “within Judaism,” and will take place from June 10-12. Part II will take place from September 15-17 and will focus on the remaining New Testament/early Christian works (Matthew, Luke/Acts, John, James, Hebrews, and other works).

Both parts of the conference will discuss the following questions: Why do you think that text x should or should not be within Judaism? What are the criteria for determining that text x is or is not within Judaism? What changes when text x is read within Judaism?
