Reading the Bible: Meaning and Truth
With Dr Ann Conway-Jones and Rabbi Margaret Jacobi
When we read the Bible, we expect to find meaning, maybe authoritative truth. Ann will explore how scholars, Jews, and Christians approach Scripture. They find different meanings because they ask different questions. Through Jewish texts, Margaret will explore the importance of truth and the dangers of seeking absolute truth. What is truth, how can we know it, and what are its limits?
Ann Conway-Jones is an honorary research fellow at The University of Birmingham and visiting scholar at Sarum College, Salisbury. She specialises in early Jewish and Christian biblical interpretation, combining her scholarship with over 20 years’ experience of teaching adults.
Margaret Jacobi is Rabbi Emerita of Birmingham Progressive Synagogue, where she served for 29 years. She was active in a variety of interfaith organisations in Birmingham, and worked with local churches to support refugees. She has a PhD in Talmud. She is associate Chair of the Liberal Beit Din and Chair of Tzelem, a rabbinic social justice organisation.
We are very grateful to Westhill Endowment for their support for this programme.
