Ochs, whose interests include Jewish philosophy and theology, modern and postmodern philosophical theology, pragmatism, and semiotics, coined the term 鈥渟criptural reasoning鈥� and is the co-founder (with Anglican theologian David F. Ford) of the Society for Scriptural Reasoning, which promotes interfaith dialogue among Christians, Jews, and Muslims through scriptural study groups. He is also a co-founder of the Children of Abraham Institute, which promotes interfaith study and dialogue among members of the Abrahamic religions.

During his tenure as the Corcoran Chair, Ochs will work on a book project titled 鈥淩easoning for Repair,鈥� examining efforts by Jewish and Christian theologians to address moments of crisis in human reasoning: for example, when thinkers contradict themselves when trying to measure the infinite or comprehend God within the limits of finite reasoning. He will examine Scripture- and tradition-based reasoning as resources for repairing such crises, utilizing insights from quantum science and transcendental reasoning.

In addition to offering a course on Muslim-Jewish-Christian Scriptural Reasoning, he will organize a conference, 鈥淩easoning Beyond the Bounds of Clear Thinking,鈥� which will explore practices of nonfinite reasoning in Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and post-Newtonian science.

鈥淚 anticipate my arrival at Boston College with great joy,鈥� said Ochs. 鈥淚n my long career of Christian-Jewish dialogue, this is my first opportunity to work directly with colleagues in Christian and Jewish Studies鈥攐n both the practice and theory of how to study scripture across different traditions, and I am eager to meet 糖心vlog直播平台 students and explore Abrahamic Scriptural reasoning with them.鈥�

Ochs holds bachelor鈥檚 and doctoral degrees from Yale University and master鈥檚 degree from the Jewish Theological Seminary. 聽

鈥淲e are thrilled to be welcoming Dr. Peter Ochs as our next Corcoran Visiting Professor,鈥� said Daniel Joslyn-Siemiatkoski, director of the Center for Christian-Jewish Learning. 鈥淒r. Ochs鈥� proposed research project on examining how forms of reasoning in Jewish, Christian, and scientific modes can work towards repairing broken aspects of shared religious and social life is a fitting one for the mission of the center.鈥�

Ochs鈥� first public event will be a webinar presentation outlining his proposed project in September.

Launched in 2000, the Center for Christian-Jewish Learning at Boston College is dedicated to the growth of new and mutually enriching relationships between Christians and Jews.
