Dr. Laurie Pearce: By The Rivers Of Babylon - The First Judeans In The Babylonian Exile

Sunday, December 13, 9:30 - 11:00 am, Rinder Chapel

Dr. Laurie Pearce presents dramatic new evidence about the Judeans exiled to Babylonia after Nebuchadnezzar destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem. She will explore their successful integration into Babylonian life, and offers insights into ways that it was possible for Judeans to maintain their unique identity in their host land and among other foreign populations.

This lecture is sponsored by the Arthur G. Weiser Fund for Interfaith Understanding.
