This presentation, led by Dr. Jason Zaborowski of Bradley University, will discuss the ideas of Christian Palestinian thinkers who have written about living the Christian life in the Holy Land.
Dr. Zaborowski is an associate professor of religious studies at BU.
He teaches courses in Arabic Christianity, Church History, Islam, Muslim-Christian relations, Christian Monasticism, and World Religions. He earned his Ph.D. from Catholic University’s department of Semitic and Egyptian Languages and Literatures, where he focused on Arabic, Coptic, and Syriac literature of the Middle East.
He teaches Christianity and Islamic studies from a historical and linguistic perspective, introducing students to culture and language (such as Greek, Arabic, Coptic, etc.) by guiding them through primary source literature. His teaching and research is particularly attentive to the Coptic Christian community of Egypt, studying their Coptic and Arabic literature, through which he examines their history of cultural interchange with Muslims. Dr. Zaborowski’s research often deals with social change of religions in the Middle East generally, from early Christian times through various periods of Islamic history, including modernity.
