Re St 432: Early Christianity and Classical Culture
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
This course explores the tangled, sometimes conflictual, but always fascinating relations between early Christianity and the classical world through which it spread. Topics discussed include: the Pauline epistles in relation to Greco-Roman letter writing; the gospels and pagan biographical traditions; the apocryphal Acts of the Apostles and the ancient novel; and the relationship between miracle and magic in regard to Jesus and pagan holy men. Our aim is to understand the multicultural, cosmopolitan world that gave rise to Christianity and its earliest literature.

Re St 444: The Mystical Tradition in Judaism
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
What is Jewish "mysticism"? What is its relationship to the category of "religion"? Is Jewish mysticism just one form of a general phenomenon common to a variety of religious traditions or is it a specific interpretation of biblical, rabbinic, and other Jewish traditions? Taking the above questions as a starting point, this course aims at a systematic and historically contextualized analysis of a broad range of Jewish texts that are commonly classified as "mystical." (All primary texts are read in translation.) Within a broad historical time frame reaching from late antiquity up to the turn of the 19th century, the topics to be discussed include: classical rabbinic literature and its relationship to early esoteric teachings; the alphabetical mysticism of the Book of Creation; traditions of heavenly ascent (Hekhalot Literature) and magical power; the emergence of classical Kabbalah in medieval France and Spain, and the composition of its central text, the Zohar ("Book of Splendor"); Isaac Luria and the further development of Kabbalah in Ottoman Palestine and beyond; Sabbatai Tzvi's messianic movement between Judaism and Islam; the Hasidic communities in Eastern Europe and the phenomenon of mystical leadership. At the same time, we explore such overarching themes as: the interplay of esoteric exegesis of the Bible and visionary experiences; the place of traditional Jewish law (halakhah) within mystical thought and practice; the role of gender, sexuality, and the body in Jewish mystical speculation and prayer; the relationship between mysticism and messianism; Ashkenazic and Sephardic traditions and their mutual impact on Jewish mysticism; the absence of women from Jewish mystical movements; esoteric traditions of an elite vs. mysticism as a communal endeavor; and the tension between innovation and (the claim to) tradition in the history of Jewish mysticism. Prerequisite: Re St 208F or permission of the instructor.
