International Summer School: The Monotheistic Interreligious Moment – Past and Present

The Frankfurt-Tel Aviv Center for the Study of Religious and Interreligious Dynamics invites applications for its international Summer School for graduate students to take place at Goethe University Frankfurt, September 7–17, 2025. Entitled The Monotheistic Interreligious Moment – Past and Present, its focus will be on interreligious dynamics across a broad array of historical, systematic, and political dimensions ranging from antiquity to the present. As lecturers, we were able to enlist distinguished experts in the field of religious and interreligious studies from Goethe University Frankfurt, Tel Aviv University and other institutions. They include Avital Davidovich-Eshed (Tel Aviv), Menachem Fisch (Tel Aviv), György Géreby (Budapest), Nathan Gibson (Frankfurt), Ahuvia Goren (Jerusalem), Judith Müller (Frankfurt), Youval Rotman (Tel Aviv), Inka Sauter (Frankfurt), Yossef Schwartz (Tel Aviv), Sita Steckel (Frankfurt), Christian Wiese (Frankfurt). Courses will be held in English.

Students from Goethe University who’ll fulfill the requirements (attendance, a presentation and/or an essay written afterwards) will be credited with 3–6 credit points; students from Tel Aviv University and from abroad can obtain a certificate of attendance and make their own arrangements with their respective universities.

The Summer School is designed for graduate students: MA and PhD students are welcome to apply. There will be no general fee for the summer school and accommodation will be provided by the organizing institutions. A limited number of fellowships for travel expenses will be available and can be discussed individually as soon as the application process has been completed.

MA and PhD students interested in applying for the Summer School are invited to submit a brief letter of motivation (approx. 200–300 words) and a short academic CV, not exceeding one page (to both Judith Müller – Jud.Mueller@em.uni-frankfurt.de – and I. Clemens Schmidt – i.c.schmidt@em.uni-frankfurt.de) no later than 30 May, 2025. We shall be accepting a total of 25 students. Please, therefore, submit your application as soon as possible.
