Who Took the "Judeo" out of "Judeo-Christian"?
Romano, Carlin
Chronicle of Higher Education, v53 n21 pB13 Jan 2007
In late December, the question, Who took the "Judeo" out of "Judeo-Christian?" hung over Mishkenot Sha'ananim, Jerusalem's distinguished guest house. Inside the complex, more than 130 attendees from nine countries attended the colloquium on "Political Hebraism: Jewish Sources in the History of Political Thought." Political theorist Yoram Hazony, of the Shalem Center, the 13-year-old research institute playing host, noted during his opening remarks that their rising scholarly sun--political Hebraism--increasingly lit up Western political thought, revealing forgotten elements. This article discusses political Hebraism and the emergence of "Hebraic Political Studies," an international, peer-reviewed journal that aims to evaluate the place of the Jewish textual tradition, alongside the traditions of Greece and Rome, in political history and the history of political thought.
