In the first part of my presentation, I will comment on the Ten Theses of Seelisberg (1947) so that you can better categorise them theologically. This will be followed in a second step by a historical localisation of the Selisberg Conference. I will briefly address the following questions: Why did the conference take place, what was its aim and why in Seelisberg in particular? Of the approximately 70 people, Jewish and Christian men and women, who took part in the conference, I will introduce you to a few people and then focus on Jules Isaac (1877-1963). He was the intellectual creator of the Seelisberg Theses. In the final stage of the presentation, I will return to the Ten Theses by discussing their history of impact.
