Judas, Midrash and that Kiss: From Desolation to Hope
2025-10-04 16:00 - 17:00 | Dummerston Community Center and Library, 150 West Street, Dummerston, VT, United States
Irish author, Peter Keenan, will offer some reflections on: Judas, Midrash and that Kiss: From Desolation to Hope.
Peter Keenan is a former secretary to the Committee for Catholic-Jewish Relations of the bishops’ Conference of England and Wales. 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.
Sponsored by Lydia’s Friends.
Refreshments will be served.
