In October, Paul presented his latest research at Leiden University, for the conference Interpreting Rituals: Historiographical Perspectives and Pluralistic Contexts. Entitled "Jewish or Jew-ish? Bernays, Freudenthal, and Hellenophone Judaism in Antiquity," his paper examined the historiographical criteria for establishing the Jewishness of ancient texts and authors as well as their contested implications in debates on the nature of Jewishness in the 19th century.
The event, held October 29–31, 2018, was sponsored by the Leiden University Centre for the Study of Religion (LUCSoR), the Dutch Association for the Study of Religion (NGG), The Netherlands School for Advanced Studies in Theology and Religion (NOSTER) in cooperation with the University of Erfurt Research Centre "Dynamics of Jewish Ritual Practices in Pluralistic Contexts from Antiquity to the Present."
The program is available here.
