Title: Christosemitism meets Co-Produced Religions

In August, we had the privilege of conducting a joint seminar with the international project “Co-Produced Religions ”, led by David Nirenberg, director of the Institute for Advanced Studies, NJ, and by Katharina Heyden, professor of Ancient Christianity at Bern University.

“Co-Produced Religions” offers a paradigm to think of each of the Abrahamic religions through the lens of their longstanding historical entanglement. The idea of an ongoing interdependence, elaborated by "Co-Produced Religions” casts a new light on the relationships between traditions that derive from varying—indeed, often incompatible or

hostile— theological backgrounds, yet that share an intense preoccupation with common topics, and a profoundly similar religious grammar. This paradigm has been extremely stimulating for Christosemitism fellows, providing us with a language to speak about the interdependence between religion and secularism as well as between Judaism and Christianity in the co-production of European anti-antisemitism, and in creating the complex

position – both symbolic and concrete – of the Jews in the postwar West.
