REMINDER
Corpus Paulinum ONLINE SEMINAR WITH RICHARD A. HORSLEY
Begins a Week from Today -- on Sunday, April 21st -- with responses from Professor Horsley to begin Monday, April 22

***********

The moderators of the Corpus Paulinum Discussion List (http://www.ibiblio.org/corpus-paul/)
are pleased to announce that Richard A. Horsley,

Distinguished Professor of Liberal Arts and the Study of Religion, Department of Classics and Religion,  at the University of Massachusetts (Boston), editor of Paul and Empire (1997) and Paul and Politics (2000), and author of  Jesus and the Spiral of Violence (1992), Sociology and the Jesus Movement (1989), Archeology, History, and Society in Galilee (1996), and many other works,
has agreed to conduct a two week online Seminar with Corpus Paulinum members and other interested parties on the ideas and arguments set out in chapters 5-9 of Richard A. Horsley and Neil Asher Silberman, The Message and the Kingdom. (Minneapolis: Fortress Press, 2002) and the Introduction and the introductory essays to each of the four chapters in Paul and Empire.

The Seminar, to be carried out under the auspices of Corpus Paulinum and its managers,  will begin on Monday, April 22nd, and will run until Friday, May 3rd, 2002, with initial submissions for Professor Horsley accepted on Sunday, April 21st.

So as to be managed effectively, the Seminar will be conducted on a subscription only basis (for instructions on subscribing, see below), and all posts submitted by Seminar members will be and  be subject to selection by the seminar's moderators.  Posts selected as best suited to further the discussion will be answered by Professor Horsley on a daily basis.

The messages from Seminar List members and the replies of Professor Horsley will be posted regularly to the Seminar’s Home page (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HorsleySeminar/ ) and will be publicly accessible at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HorsleySeminar/messages

However, only Seminar subscribers will have the privilege of posting messages.

The focus of the Seminar is the thesis set out by Professor Horsley in The Message and the Kingdom and Paul and Empire that Paul’s message of the cross and his missionary activity stands counter to, and as a polemic against, Roman imperial power and its gospel of the Pax Romana.

Accordingly,  a major prerequisite for anyone wishing to participate in the Seminar is one's familiarity with these works.

Information on The Message and the Kingdom may be found at:
