Eli Kavon on Power and Prophecy in Midstream

My essay on power and prophecy appears in the Spring 2011 issue of Midstream, a journal of Jewish and Zionist politics and thought. "Political Power and the Prophet: Ahab, Elijah, and Naboth's Vineyard" is a study of power in the prophetic literature of the Hebrew Bible. The essay is based on a paper I composed for Dr. Zohar Raviv in 2009. At the time, I was a doctoral student at the Spertus Institute for Jewish Studies in downtown Chicago. Thanks to Zohar for his inspiration and wisdom. Many thanks to Midstream editor Leo Haber for continuing to publish my work in his journal's pages.

Eli Kavon Presents Paper at University of Nanjing Symposium

I had the honor of presenting a paper at the University of Nanjing for an "International Symposium on Monotheism and Postmodernism." Xu Xin, the driving force behind Jewish Studies in China, invited me to the conference four months ago. I lectured on "Abraham Geiger and Abraham Isaac Kook: Messianism's Return to History." Many thanks to the other professors from the US, Israel, Japan, Canada, Australia, and for those teachers from throughout China--it was wonderful to participate in this historic event with you. I owe a great debt to Xu Xin--his students are impressive in their dedication to Jewish Studies and their keen interest in monotheism.
