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.
