Dramatizing Paul of Tarsus: Christian and Jewish Responses to PAULUS
Monday, November 11, 2013 at 7:00PM

The Historic Chicago Temple Building
77 W Washington St
Pierce Hall
Chicago, IL 60602


In anticipation of the world premiere of Motti Lerner's PAULUS, an artistic interpretation of the latter years of Paul of Tarsus as imagined through a psychological lens, join Silk Road Rising for a conversation with scholars, clergy, and the playwright. Held in the sanctuary at the First United Methodist Church at The Chicago Temple, this panel will be an interfaith conversation among Jews and Christians to place the figure of Paul within their respective traditions. In PAULUS, a compassionate but wary 62-year-old Jesus and an egomaniacal Emperor Nero torment the ailing psyche of the Apostle Paul as he struggles to universalize monotheism against fierce opposition from a Jewish religious establishment threatened with spiritual extinction. A scene from PAULUS will be performed as part of the evening’s program.
