SUMMARY:Rome & Jerusalem
DESCRIPTION:&lt;p&gt;The Walsh University Jewish/Catholic Studies Institute and the Walsh Theology Division invites the community to share in four special lectures which are part of the University course on Rome and Jerusalem: The Clash of Civilizations. From the syllabus:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Rome and Jerusalem&quot; takes the student back to the location of the beginnings of Christianity, both as a movement within the Jewish community of Judea in the first century C.E. and also as a distinct entity and religious development in the Roman world. The course will examine the fundamental confrontations and issues of Paganism vs. Monotheism as well as Faith vs. Secularism. Understanding the fundamentals of these basic drives which connect Body and Soul, the Present and Eternity and Tradition and Change should give the student the ability to reflect upon our world and this time...our contemporary issues, as an extension and continuation of the &quot;clash of civilizations.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The series will include four evening lectures:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;September 27&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&quot;Josephus and the Jewish Wars&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A special lecture by Dr. Christopher Seeman, Assistant Professor of Theology.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;October 16&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&quot;Roman Religion and the Religion of the Jerusalem Temple&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A special lecture by Rabbi John Spitzer, Associate Professor of Jewish Studies.&lt;/p&gt;
