Edward Kessler
Dr Edward Kessler MBE (born 3 May 1963) is the founding director of The Woolf Institute. He is a thinker in interfaith relations, primarily contemporary Judaism, Jewish-Christian and Jewish-Muslim Relations, and is a Fellow of St Edmund’s College, Cambridge.〔(BBC Religion & Ethics biographies )〕
==Biography==
Born in 1963, Kessler was educated at City of London School and graduated with a First-Class Honours Degree in Hebrew and Religious Studies from the University of Leeds in 1985, a Master of Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School in 1987, and a Master of Business Studies from the University of Stirling in 1989. He went on to work in a family business, Kesslers International Group, for 7 years before returning to his academic studies, completing a PhD at the University of Cambridge in 1999.
Kessler, with Martin Forward, founded the Centre for the Study of Jewish-Christian Relations (CJCR) in 1998.〔(History of the Woolf Institute PDF )〕 In 2006 The Centre for the Study of Muslim-Jewish Relations (CMJR) and the Centre for Policy Public Education were established 〔(Times Higher Education article on the new centre )〕 and the name of the organisation was changed to The Woolf Institute in 2010, and its focus was extended to the study of relations among and between Jews, Christians and Muslims.
In 2006, he was awarded the Sternberg Interfaith Award from philanthropist Sir Sigmund Sternberg "in recognition of outstanding services in furthering relations between faiths".〔(News summary announcing prize )〕 In June 2007 The Times Higher Education newspaper described him as "probably the most prolific interfaith figure in British academia".〔(Times Higher Education article )〕 In 2011 he was awarded an MBE awarded for services to interfaith relations 〔(Jewish Chronicle Queen's Birthday Honours )〕 Dr Kessler has published 11 books, most recently, (Jews, Christians and Muslims ) was published in 2013 by SCM. He is currently working on a book about Jesus which will be published in 2016 by The History Press.
Kessler now serves as Vice-Chair for the (Commission on Religion and Belief in British Public Life ), a two-year initiative that examines the role of religion and belief in British public life and is due to publish its findings in the autumn of 2015. Dr Kessler sits on the Foreign & Commonwealth Office’s Advisory group on Freedom of Religion and Belief and regularly teaches FCO staff on how and why religion can fundamentally affect policy.
Much of his work has been examining scripture and exploring the significance for Jewish-Christian relations of sharing a sacred text. He has identified a common exegetical tradition, especially in the formative centuries. More recently his writings have focussed on the encounter with Islam and contemporary relations between the three Abrahamic faiths and implications for fostering a vibrant and open society. Kessler proposes approaches for managing difference, which he argues is vital in forming a positive identity as well as sustaining communities.〔http://www.mucjs.org/MELILAH/2010/3.pdf〕 In his discussion on covenantal theology, he argues for the creation of ‘theological space’ in which people of faith can affirm one another without losing their particularities of faith.〔http://www.sju.edu/int/academics/centers/ijcr/pdf/Kessler_Covenant%20and%20Conversion.pdf〕
In a lecture at the Brookings Institution in 2014, he argued that diplomats and policymakers need to be better trained in religion and belief and described the contemporary religious landscape as a post-interfaith world.
