Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Content: The seminar deals with the different contexts in which anti-Judaism and hatred against Jews occurred in the history of Christianity until the end of Late Antiquity.
The focus is on a) direct hatred of Jews, especially in anti-Jewish dialogue writings, b) indirect hatred of Jews in other theological argumentations (so-called "hermeneutic Jews") as well as c) hatred of Jews in hagiography and worship of relics (protomartyr Stephanus; relic of the cross).
Goal: The seminar contributes to the critical reflection of these Christian traditions, which are still present in society today, and tries to make a Christianity without hatred of Jews conceivable.
Method: Under guidance, primarily primary source texts are analysed, which each participant has to prepare independently. Presentations on supplementary secondary literature are to be given. An own term paper applies this on the basis of a self-chosen topic in an own analysis.
The practical implementation will be adapted to the possibilities of the in-class teaching.

Assessment and permitted materials

The performance evaluation consists of three parts, each of which must be completed with a positive result:
a) Preparation / attendance / contributions to discussions (40%; 2 ECTS);
b) presentation with handout (20%; 0,5 ECTS);
c) Seminar paper (40%; 2,5 ECTS) on a topic from the seminar.
The seminar paper (approx. 20 pages) must be handed in by 15 September at the latest.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

All three partial performances must be completed positively.
The overall grade is calculated by converting the partial grades as a proportion (see above).
