�鶹ӰԺ

Scholars at the �鶹ӰԺ are using the Mediterranean as a frame of inquiry, research and teaching to broaden our understanding of the past.

This year’s public panel discussion, “Religion and Human Rights After the 2016 Election,” will take place Thursday, April 6, at 6 p.m. in Eaton Humanities 250, 1610 Pleasant Street, on the CU �鶹ӰԺ campus.

Elias Sacks, CU �鶹ӰԺ assistant professor or religious studies, makes a case for the contemporary relevance of an Enlightenment superstar.

Moses Mendelssohn (1729–1786) is often described as the founder of modern Jewish thought and as a leading philosopher of the late Enlightenment.

Modern readers of the Holy Bible often say that context is critical. Samuel Boyd, assistant professor of religious studies, heartily agrees. And he should know. He has no fewer than 23 ancient NearEast tongues at his disposal.
