A three day Bible course "with a difference" takes place at Bellinter conference centre in Navan, Co Meath, from June 16th. Organised by the Sisters of Sion, it will explore the Jewish background of Christian scripture.

It will be conducted by Dr Jonathan Gorsky, education officer of the British Council of Christians and Jews, and lecturer at the department of theology and religious studies at Bristol University, and Dr Sean Freyne, Professor of Theology at Trinity College, Dublin.

The course will aim at the recognition and repudiation of the anti Jewish polemic in the New Testament.
