| Abstract | The second proposed session follows the lines of the first, but without the specific focus on conversion. The papers discuss various aspects of the perception of Jews and Judaism on the one hand, and visual expressions of Jewish-Christian relations, on the other. Challenging earlier, somewhat black-and-white views regarding the image of Jews as demonized enemy of Christianity, the session follows a path taken in a session at the Leeds Conference few years ago and presents a more subtle view into different layers and viewpoints of the depictions of Jews and Judaism. |
