Did the Maccabees Intend to Conquer the Promised Land?
Join Professors Katell Berthelot (National Center for Scientific Research, Aix-en-Provence, France) and Yonder Gillihan (Boston College) as they debate the historicity of the Maccabean wars of conquest and ask if the texts truly support the idea of a planned re-conquest of the biblical Land of Israel. This event is part of the Dialogue Series, presented by The Maccabees Project. This project is a joint collaboration of Boston University and Boston College, and is supported by The Elie Wiesel Center for Jewish Studies at Boston University, the Boston University Center for the Humanities, the Jewish Cultural Endowment, the Boston University Department of Archaeology, and The Institute for the Liberal Arts at Boston College. RSVPS requested by 11/23.
