This seminar will track the changes in the representations of Jesus in modern Hebrew literature. We will study the connections between intellectual writings and the literary depictions of Jesus, changes in the representations of his figure in the aftermath of the Holocaust and Israeli statehood, and the function of his figure in the cultural and theological modern Jewish imagination. Reading will include prose-fiction, novels, poetry, drama, and intellectual essays from the late 19th century to the beginning of the 21st century.
