Presenter: Gary Anderson, professor of Old Testament/Hebrew Bible, University of Notre Dame

In Second Temple Judaism the practice of charity towards the poor assumed a structural significance parallel to that of offering a sacrifice in the Temple.  This lecture traces the origins of this revolutionary idea in the Bible and its groundbreaking ramifications for the development of Jewish and Christian piety and practice.
