This 6-week course examines the religio-cultural matrix which produced Judaism, Jesus and the earliest Jesus movement. This period brought about the death of ‘Ancient Israel’ and the birth of ‘Judaism’. We'll explore the intersection of Greek philosophy and Semetic theology. This historical period was an era of rapid religious change and uncertainty, massive cultural clashes and unending political turmoil. As a result, it was also an era of great religious creativity and diversity. This included the creation of a new religious movement in Judaea which would eventually spread throughout the Greco-Roman world.

Our courses are offered as in-person classes, live-streamed via Zoom, or via video recordings which are made available 1-2 days after each class session.

Love Art? EarthDiverse is pleased to announce its first ever Art Appreciation Café on Thursday evenings in November.

Everyone is a potential artist, and everyone can appreciate and interpret art. At our Art Appreciation Café we meet for informal discussion about works of art, artists and artistic developments. Join us over a cuppa to view and talk about exemplary pieces of world art. During each of our 4 sessions we will discuss 4 very different works of art from diverse eras and geographical places of origin.

After a brief introduction by an expert, we invite everyone to share their personal observations and insights.

At our first session we discuss cave art from Lascaux, a painting from the Italian Renaissance, German Romanticism and a contemporary New Zealand sculpture.

The workshop's conveners Peter Dornauf and Norman Franke look forward to seeing you for four evenings of spirited discussion about the arts in November.

Coffee, tea & biscuits will be available during each weekly session.
