His recent trilogy\, published by Columba Books\, culminates with The Resurrection of Jesus the Jew: Midrash and the First Easter. With deft reliance on Jewish and Christian scholars\, Keenan astutely examines the use of Midrash in the formation of the gospel narratives. With a discerning eye for the history of anti-semitism\, Keenan’s work demonstrates how it is possible for Christians to retain the central tenets of their faith while also transforming their understanding of them. Peter Keenan describes himself as a post-Holocaust Christian and is visiting us from Kinsale\, Cork. \nSponsored by Lydia’s Friends. \nRefreshments will be served.
