The ICJS Scripture Forum is a group of Christian and Jewish clergy and
educators who study texts together on a regular basis. Consisting of
approximately fifteen invited members, the group meets for two hours every
third week to look at both Christian and Jewish texts that illuminate key
religious concepts. The Scripture Forum is facilitated by the ICJS Scholars, with presen-tations by both ICJS staff members and Scripture Forum
participants.
During the 2004-2005 academic year, the Scripture Forum focused its study on specific issues to be raised in ICJS programs (particularly in the study day with Rabbi Irving Greenberg and at the major conference, Dying Well: Medicine and Morality through Jewish, Christian, and Muslim Eyes). ICJS Associate Scholar Janis Koch prepared notes of the Scripture Forum meetings, which we hope will capture for visitors to
our Web site both the range and the flavor of the group's lively discussions around a variety of topics.
