Dr. Dennis Raverty

Rembrandt's Depiction of the Jews

In his quest for a more historically accurate rendition of biblical subjects, Rembrandt often used Jewish models for the characters in his paintings. This talk will explore the myth and the reality of the artist's relationship with the Jews of Amsterdam, and his search for a realistic, unidealized and human Jesus.

What Do Episcopalians Believe?

Working with Samuel Wells’s new book, What Episcopalians Believe: An Introduction, Father Jay Smith will lead a series on Anglican theology, doctrine, and practice. We will be asking the following questions. What beliefs do Episcopalians share with other churches and denominations? What doctrinal statements do Episcopalians affirm and what statements do they reject? Is there something distinctive about the Episcopal/Anglican theological tradition?
