“Forgetting Ancient Jewish Sciences”

Annette Yoshiko Reed (NYU)

Presenter

Prof. Reed Annette Yoshiko Reed (Associate Professor, New York University) has particular interest in angels and demons, the afterlives of Second Temple traditions in late antiquity, and Jewish and Christian self-definition. Her forthcoming two-volume set, Jewish-Christianity and the History of Judaism (Mohr Siebeck, forthcoming 2018) collects her research on “Jewish-Christians,” the early history of Jewish-Christian relations, and the history of scholarship.
