SUMMARY:Reading from the Roots: Bible Translation and Its Impact
DESCRIPTION:Readings from the Roots is a new, historically-sensitive translation of the Revised Common Lectionary with the goal of reducing the potential for anti-Judaism by enriching Christianity through its roots in Judaism. The project, under development, is available for viewing and comments at <a href="http://readingsfromtheroots.bard.edu/">readingsfromtheroots.bard.edu</a>. The Readings from the Roots translation team will host a two-day conference at the College of the Holy Cross to highlight the project and engage scholars and practitioners, especially Christian clergy:<ul> 	<li>to deepen their understanding of the authors' relationship to Judaism in the diverse writings of the New Testament;</li> 	<li>to articulate the challenges and opportunities for accurately reflecting that relationship in a translation of Scripture; and</li> 	<li>to consider how a translation of the texts can be used in worship to eradicate the anti-Judaism that continues to be associated with Christian readings of the Bible.</li></ul><a href="http://readingsfromtheroots.bard.edu/">Readings from the Roots</a> is led by:<ul> 	<li><a href="https://www.holycross.edu/faith-service/mcfarland-center-religion-ethics-and-culture/kraft-hiatt-program-jewish-christian/professor-judaic-studies">Alan Avery-Peck</a>, College of the Holy Cross</li> 	<li>Bruce Chilton, Bard College</li> 	<li>Delio Delrio, New Orleans Theological Seminary</li> 	<li>Peter Pettit, Muhlenberg College</li> 	<li>Susan Auchincloss, St. Gregory's Episcopal Church, Woodstock, NY</li></ul>All conference sessions are free and open to the public.<a href="https://www.holycross.edu/maps-directions-transportation-and-parking/directions-to-campus">Directions to Holy Cross</a><a href="https://www.holycross.edu/maps-directions-transportation-and-parking/directions-to-campus">»</a><a href="https://www.holycross.edu/studentlife/worcester/hotels">Nearby Accommodations»</a><a href="https://www.holycross.edu/campus-life/dining/locations-menus-hours">Campus Dining Options»</a>Complimentary meals will be available to conference scholars and clergy who request them in advance. <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeRXidn_yGruFMkmDEnYIr_tQLeI-G4H9OpNTfYqdg9asY_Yw/viewform?usp=sf_link">Please complete the online form</a> by March 15.This conference is made possible with support from the <a href="https://www.holycross.edu/faith-service/mcfarland-center-religion-ethics-and-culture/kraft-hiatt-program-jewish-christian">Kraft-Hiatt Fund for Jewish-Christian Understanding</a> and the Rehm Family Fund.
