Call For Papers: Our theme for 2008 : Jesus: Teacher, Prophet, Savior and the Lord.
Martin Buber in his lecture in 1952 , New York addressed his audience saying; In sum to here the question echoing out the depth of stillness, teach me to have faith in reality, in Verities of existence. Who indeed, can help me if thou canst not? For Buber, Jesus's uniqueness lay in the strength, the immediacy.He referred to the immediate realm of the unconditional dialogue, and he invited his disciples to do the same. Buber sees the I of Jesus as one of solidarity and unconditional relationship. In our seminar we wish to experience Buber's suggestive connection between the Scripture and Literature, between Archaeology and Philosophy. We wish to learn that within the familiar context we are offered new point of views embracing many disciplines and the spirit of their wisdom is in our midst.
