Jewish Studies | |||||
| Religion, ethnicity, nation - who are the Jews? What is Judaism? Jewish Studies explores Jewish texts, thought, belief, history, cultures, sociologies, languages and fine arts from biblical times to the present. It provides a model for exploring some of the larger humanistic and philosophical questions affecting us all. You’ll examine these within the context of the many Western and non-Western civilizations in which Jewish people have lived and which have helped to shape - and been shaped - by Judaism. You’ll also explore Jewish interactions with non-Jewish people over the ages, evolving attitudes towards and images of Jewish people within various non-Jewish cultures, and the history of anti-Semitism. | |||||
