Concentration in Christian-Jewish Studies

The program in Christian-Jewish Studies offers a concentration for master’s students at Princeton Theological Seminary that allows students to focus their academic work on issues pertaining to the relationship between Christianity and Judaism. The concentration prepares students for vocational ministry and scholarly pursuits by critically exploring the relationship between Christianity and Judaism in its biblical, historical, theological, and practical dimensions. It also prepares students to make constructive contributions to the interaction of Christian and Jewish communities. The requirements for the concentration involve earning 10 credits from approved courses (see below) in addition to RS5300, Colloquium in Christian-Jewish Studies. Students are highly encouraged to take OT4020, Judaism in Jewish Terms. One course (or a maximum of three credits) may be taken at Princeton University or Jewish Theological Seminary in order to fulfill the concentration requirements, subject to the approval of the coordinators and the associate dean for academic administration.

Coordinators: Dr. Mahri Leonard-Fleckman and Dr. Elizabeth Bloch-Smith
