"The Alchemy of Memory in the Hebrew Bible" with Prof. Ronald Hendel, Ph.D.

The Sally and Ralph Duchin Memorial Campus Lecture Series welcomes Prof. Ronald Hendel Ph.D., the Norma and Sam Dabby Professor of Hebrew Bible and Jewish Studies Department of Near Eastern Studies University of California, Berkeley "The Alchemy of Memory in the Hebrew Bible". This lecture will explore the transformative power of cultural memory in the Hebrew Bible through two case studies. In the first, the story of the Exodus shows how historical memory and imagination combine to create the conditions for a new collective identity. The second examines the story of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba and reveals how political authority is contested between imperial and subordinate powers. Combined, these instances lay bare the effects of the remembered past on the present in biblical literature.
