=====================================

Sign Up for “Bible-Philos” Listserv

I wanted to inform you that the Shalem Center’s Department of Philosophy, Political Theory and Religion has organized a new listserv to provide information for scholars interested in being informed of developments in the philosophical investigation of the Hebrew Scriptures, Talmud and Midrash.

The “Bible-Philos” list will provide you with announcements relating to conferences, publications, and fellowships in the following subject areas:

1. The philosophical study of the metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and political thought of the Hebrew Bible, Talmud and Midrash.

2. The historical reception of the metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and political thought of Hebrew Bible, Talmud and Midrash in the West and beyond.

List subscribers will be encouraged to submit announcements and brief reviews of new publications appearing in these areas, which will then be distributed to list members.

To sign up for the “Bible-Philos” list, please click here.

An overview of the Jewish Philosophical Theology project at the Shalem Center is available here.

For additional information please feel free to write to me at (yhazony@shalem.org.il).
The website for the list, with the subscription link, is here.
