Purpose: The purpose of the sixth Nangeroni meeting is to explore the Gospel of John’s christology, traditionally considered to be “high christology,” as part of the diversity of Jewish messianism within the Second Temple Period. The focus of discussions will address John’s depiction of the messiah in relation to the following topics: “divinity” and a divine messiah, the Incarnation, wisdom traditions, Enoch traditions and the Son of Man, Davidic expectations, and Moses and Torah. The following questions will serve to guide our sessions: How and in what ways can the Gospel of John’s messiah be situated within Second Temple Period Judaism? Can John’s christology be seen as a part the diversity of Jewish messianism? If so, should it still be labeled a high christology? Can the Johannine messiah be considered “divine”? Were there other divine messiahs in Second Temple Judaism? What do we mean by “divine” and “divinity”? Is there a relationship between John’s λόγος and the Jewish sapiential tradition? What, if any, sort of relationship exists between Second Temple interpretations of the “one like a son of man,” particularly in the Parables of Enoch, and what we find in the Gospel of John? How do Nathanael and the Jerusalem crowd’s “King of Israel” and Pilate’s “King of the Jews” influence our perspectives on Davidic/kingship traditions in Second Temple Judaism, especially in light of Roman rule? How do the Moses traditions in the Gospel of John add to our understanding of prophetic messiah expectations of the time?

====Registration====

Participation in the sixth Nangeroni Meeting is by invitation only. If you are interested in joining the meeting, please contact the organizers.

The registration fee is based on the number of Enoch Seminars/Nangeroni Meetings you have attended in the past:

$125 – Newcomers;
$110 – Attended 1 Seminar;
$100 – Attended 2 Seminars;
$90 – Attended 3 Seminars;
$75 – Attended 4 or 5 Seminars + all emeriti;
$0 – Attended 6 or more Enoch Seminars or Nangeroni Meetings

====Accommodations====

The rate for All-inclusive accommodations at Camaldoli is as follows:

300 Euros - All Participants;
200 Euros - Respondents;
0 Euros - Major Paper Presenters

====Travel Information====
You may fly into either Florence, Rome, or Bologna. Then take the train to Arezzo.

From ''Florence'' (Peretola), you will need to take a bus/cab to the main train station, Santa Maria Novella, then the train to Arezzo.
From ''Rome'' (Fiumicino), you will take the train to Roma Termini, then to Arezzo.
From ''Bologna'' (Guglielmo Marconi), you will take the bus/taxi to Bolgona Centrale and from there to Arezzo.
Try to avoid local trains which stop at every station and therefore take much longer. Look for high-speed, intercity, or frecciarosa trains.

We will be scheduling a bus to take us from the Railway Station in Arezzo to Camalodoli at 5:00pm, June 19. There is a cafe in the Railway Station where folks have congregated in the past as they waited for the bus, so that will serve as our meeting point. If you are unable to make this bus, you can take the train from Arezzo to Bibbiena. From Bibbiena, you can take a taxi to Camaldoli (~20-30 euros); however, on a Sunday night, you may have difficulty locating a taxi in Bibbiena. You may also take a taxi directly from Arezzo to Camaldoli, but this will be more expensive (about 80+ euros)."

Purpose: The purpose of the sixth Nangeroni meeting is to explore the Gospel of John’s christology, traditionally considered to be “high christology,” as part of the diversity of Jewish messianism within the Second Temple Period. The focus of discussions will address John’s depiction of the messiah in relation to the following topics: “divinity” and a divine messiah, the Incarnation, wisdom traditions, Enoch traditions and the Son of Man, Davidic expectations, and Moses and Torah. The following questions will serve to guide our sessions: How and in what ways can the Gospel of John’s messiah be situated within Second Temple Period Judaism? Can John’s christology be seen as a part the diversity of Jewish messianism? If so, should it still be labeled a high christology? Can the Johannine messiah be considered “divine”? Were there other divine messiahs in Second Temple Judaism? What do we mean by “divine” and “divinity”? Is there a relationship between John’s λόγος and the Jewish sapiential tradition? What, if any, sort of relationship exists between Second Temple interpretations of the “one like a son of man,” particularly in the Parables of Enoch, and what we find in the Gospel of John? How do Nathanael and the Jerusalem crowd’s “King of Israel” and Pilate’s “King of the Jews” influence our perspectives on Davidic/kingship traditions in Second Temple Judaism, especially in light of Roman rule? How do the Moses traditions in the Gospel of John add to our understanding of prophetic messiah expectations of the time?

====Registration====

Participation in the sixth Nangeroni Meeting is by invitation only. If you are interested in joining the meeting, please contact the organizers.

The registration fee is based on the number of Enoch Seminars/Nangeroni Meetings you have attended in the past:

$125 – Newcomers;
$110 – Attended 1 Seminar;
$100 – Attended 2 Seminars;
$90 – Attended 3 Seminars;

300 Euros - All Participants;
200 Euros - Respondents;
0 Euros - Major Paper Presenters

====Travel Information====
You may fly into either Florence, Rome, or Bologna. Then take the train to Arezzo.

From ''Florence'' (Peretola), you will need to take a bus/cab to the main train station, Santa Maria Novella, then the train to Arezzo.
From ''Rome'' (Fiumicino), you will take the train to Roma Termini, then to Arezzo.
From ''Bologna'' (Guglielmo Marconi), you will take the bus/taxi to Bolgona Centrale and from there to Arezzo.
Try to avoid local trains which stop at every station and therefore take much longer. Look for high-speed, intercity, or frecciarosa trains.

We will be scheduling a bus to take us from the Railway Station in Arezzo to Camalodoli at 5:00pm, June 19. There is a cafe in the Railway Station where folks have congregated in the past as they waited for the bus, so that will serve as our meeting point. If you are unable to make this bus, you can take the train from Arezzo to Bibbiena. From Bibbiena, you can take a taxi to Camaldoli (~20-30 euros); however, on a Sunday night, you may have difficulty locating a taxi in Bibbiena. You may also take a taxi directly from Arezzo to Camaldoli, but this will be more expensive (about 80+ euros)."

We will be scheduling a bus to take us from the Railway Station in Arezzo to Camalodoli at 5:00pm, June 19. There is a cafe in the Railway Station where folks have congregated in the past as they waited for the bus, so that will serve as our meeting point. If you are unable to make this bus, you can take the train from Arezzo to Bibbiena. From Bibbiena, you can take a taxi to Camaldoli (~20-30 euros); however, on a Sunday night, you may have difficulty locating a taxi in Bibbiena. You may also take a taxi directly from Arezzo to Camaldoli, but this will be more expensive (about 80+ euros)."

Purpose: The purpose of the sixth Nangeroni meeting is to explore the Gospel of John’s christology, traditionally considered to be “high christology,” as part of the diversity of Jewish messianism within the Second Temple Period. The focus of discussions will address John’s depiction of the messiah in relation to the following topics: “divinity” and a divine messiah, the Incarnation, wisdom traditions, Enoch traditions and the Son of Man, Davidic expectations, and Moses and Torah. The following questions will serve to guide our sessions: How and in what ways can the Gospel of John’s messiah be situated within Second Temple Period Judaism? Can John’s christology be seen as a part the diversity of Jewish messianism? If so, should it still be labeled a high christology? Can the Johannine messiah be considered “divine”? Were there other divine messiahs in Second Temple Judaism? What do we mean by “divine” and “divinity”? Is there a relationship between John’s λόγος and the Jewish sapiential tradition? What, if any, sort of relationship exists between Second Temple interpretations of the “one like a son of man,” particularly in the Parables of Enoch, and what we find in the Gospel of John? How do Nathanael and the Jerusalem crowd’s “King of Israel” and Pilate’s “King of the Jews” influence our perspectives on Davidic/kingship traditions in Second Temple Judaism, especially in light of Roman rule? How do the Moses traditions in the Gospel of John add to our understanding of prophetic messiah expectations of the time?

Purpose: The purpose of the sixth Nangeroni meeting is to explore the Gospel of John’s christology, traditionally considered to be “high christology,” as part of the diversity of Jewish messianism within the Second Temple Period. The focus of discussions will address John’s depiction of the messiah in relation to the following topics: “divinity” and a divine messiah, the Incarnation, wisdom traditions, Enoch traditions and the Son of Man, Davidic expectations, and Moses and Torah. The following questions will serve to guide our sessions: How and in what ways can the Gospel of John’s messiah be situated within Second Temple Period Judaism? Can John’s christology be seen as a part the diversity of Jewish messianism? If so, should it still be labeled a high christology? Can the Johannine messiah be considered “divine”? Were there other divine messiahs in Second Temple Judaism? What do we mean by “divine” and “divinity”? Is there a relationship between John’s λόγος and the Jewish sapiential tradition? What, if any, sort of relationship exists between Second Temple interpretations of the “one like a son of man,” particularly in the Parables of Enoch, and what we find in the Gospel of John? How do Nathanael and the Jerusalem crowd’s “King of Israel” and Pilate’s “King of the Jews” influence our perspectives on Davidic/kingship traditions in Second Temple Judaism, especially in light of Roman rule? How do the Moses traditions in the Gospel of John add to our understanding of prophetic messiah expectations of the time?

====Registration====

Participation in the sixth Nangeroni Meeting is by invitation only. If you are interested in joining the meeting, please contact the organizers.

The registration fee is based on the number of Enoch Seminars/Nangeroni Meetings you have attended in the past:

$125 – Newcomers;
$110 – Attended 1 Seminar;
$100 – Attended 2 Seminars;
$90 – Attended 3 Seminars;
$75 – Attended 4 or 5 Seminars + all emeriti;

====Accommodations====

The rate for All-inclusive accommodations at Camaldoli is as follows:

300 Euros - All Participants;
200 Euros - Respondents;
0 Euros - Major Paper Presenters

====Travel Information====
You may fly into either Florence, Rome, or Bologna. Then take the train to Arezzo.

From ''Florence'' (Peretola), you will need to take a bus/cab to the main train station, Santa Maria Novella, then the train to Arezzo.
From ''Rome'' (Fiumicino), you will take the train to Roma Termini, then to Arezzo.
From ''Bologna'' (Guglielmo Marconi), you will take the bus/taxi to Bolgona Centrale and from there to Arezzo.
Try to avoid local trains which stop at every station and therefore take much longer. Look for high-speed, intercity, or frecciarosa trains.

We will be scheduling a bus to take us from the Railway Station in Arezzo to Camalodoli at 5:00pm, June 19. There is a cafe in the Railway Station where folks have congregated in the past as they waited for the bus, so that will serve as our meeting point. If you are unable to make this bus, you can take the train from Arezzo to Bibbiena. From Bibbiena, you can take a taxi to Camaldoli (~20-30 euros); however, on a Sunday night, you may have difficulty locating a taxi in Bibbiena. You may also take a taxi directly from Arezzo to Camaldoli, but this will be more expensive (about 80+ euros)."

Purpose: The purpose of the sixth Nangeroni meeting is to explore the Gospel of John’s christology, traditionally considered to be “high christology,” as part of the diversity of Jewish messianism within the Second Temple Period. The focus of discussions will address John’s depiction of the messiah in relation to the following topics: “divinity” and a divine messiah, the Incarnation, wisdom traditions, Enoch traditions and the Son of Man, Davidic expectations, and Moses and Torah. The following questions will serve to guide our sessions: How and in what ways can the Gospel of John’s messiah be situated within Second Temple Period Judaism? Can John’s christology be seen as a part the diversity of Jewish messianism? If so, should it still be labeled a high christology? Can the Johannine messiah be considered “divine”? Were there other divine messiahs in Second Temple Judaism? What do we mean by “divine” and “divinity”? Is there a relationship between John’s λόγος and the Jewish sapiential tradition? What, if any, sort of relationship exists between Second Temple interpretations of the “one like a son of man,” particularly in the Parables of Enoch, and what we find in the Gospel of John? How do Nathanael and the Jerusalem crowd’s “King of Israel” and Pilate’s “King of the Jews” influence our perspectives on Davidic/kingship traditions in Second Temple Judaism, especially in light of Roman rule? How do the Moses traditions in the Gospel of John add to our understanding of prophetic messiah expectations of the time?

====Registration====

Participation in the sixth Nangeroni Meeting is by invitation only. If you are interested in joining the meeting, please contact the organizers.

====Travel Information====
You may fly into either Florence, Rome, or Bologna. Then take the train to Arezzo.

From ''Florence'' (Peretola), you will need to take a bus/cab to the main train station, Santa Maria Novella, then the train to Arezzo.
From ''Rome'' (Fiumicino), you will take the train to Roma Termini, then to Arezzo.
From ''Bologna'' (Guglielmo Marconi), you will take the bus/taxi to Bolgona Centrale and from there to Arezzo.
Try to avoid local trains which stop at every station and therefore take much longer. Look for high-speed, intercity, or frecciarosa trains.

We will be scheduling a bus to take us from the Railway Station in Arezzo to Camalodoli at 5:00pm, June 19. There is a cafe in the Railway Station where folks have congregated in the past as they waited for the bus, so that will serve as our meeting point. If you are unable to make this bus, you can take the train from Arezzo to Bibbiena. From Bibbiena, you can take a taxi to Camaldoli (~20-30 euros); however, on a Sunday night, you may have difficulty locating a taxi in Bibbiena. You may also take a taxi directly from Arezzo to Camaldoli, but this will be more expensive (about 80+ euros)."

From Bibbiena, you can take a taxi to Camaldoli (~20-30 euros); however, on a Sunday night, you may have difficulty locating a taxi in Bibbiena. You may also take a taxi directly from Arezzo to Camaldoli, but this will be more expensive (about 80+ euros)."

Purpose: The purpose of the sixth Nangeroni meeting is to explore the Gospel of John’s christology, traditionally considered to be “high christology,” as part of the diversity of Jewish messianism within the Second Temple Period. The focus of discussions will address John’s depiction of the messiah in relation to the following topics: “divinity” and a divine messiah, the Incarnation, wisdom traditions, Enoch traditions and the Son of Man, Davidic expectations, and Moses and Torah. The following questions will serve to guide our sessions: How and in what ways can the Gospel of John’s messiah be situated within Second Temple Period Judaism? Can John’s christology be seen as a part the diversity of Jewish messianism? If so, should it still be labeled a high christology? Can the Johannine messiah be considered “divine”? Were there other divine messiahs in Second Temple Judaism? What do we mean by “divine” and “divinity”? Is there a relationship between John’s λόγος and the Jewish sapiential tradition? What, if any, sort of relationship exists between Second Temple interpretations of the “one like a son of man,” particularly in the Parables of Enoch, and what we find in the Gospel of John? How do Nathanael and the Jerusalem crowd’s “King of Israel” and Pilate’s “King of the Jews” influence our perspectives on Davidic/kingship traditions in Second Temple Judaism, especially in light of Roman rule? How do the Moses traditions in the Gospel of John add to our understanding of prophetic messiah expectations of the time?

====Registration====

Participation in the sixth Nangeroni Meeting is by invitation only. If you are interested in joining the meeting, please contact the organizers.

====Travel Information====
You may fly into either Florence, Rome, or Bologna. Then take the train to Arezzo.

From ''Florence'' (Peretola), you will need to take a bus/cab to the main train station, Santa Maria Novella, then the train to Arezzo.
From ''Rome'' (Fiumicino), you will take the train to Roma Termini, then to Arezzo.

Purpose: The purpose of the sixth Nangeroni meeting is to explore the Gospel of John’s christology, traditionally considered to be “high christology,” as part of the diversity of Jewish messianism within the Second Temple Period. The focus of discussions will address John’s depiction of the messiah in relation to the following topics: “divinity” and a divine messiah, the Incarnation, wisdom traditions, Enoch traditions and the Son of Man, Davidic expectations, and Moses and Torah. The following questions will serve to guide our sessions: How and in what ways can the Gospel of John’s messiah be situated within Second Temple Period Judaism? Can John’s christology be seen as a part the diversity of Jewish messianism? If so, should it still be labeled a high christology? Can the Johannine messiah be considered “divine”? Were there other divine messiahs in Second Temple Judaism? What do we mean by “divine” and “divinity”? Is there a relationship between John’s λόγος and the Jewish sapiential tradition? What, if any, sort of relationship exists between Second Temple interpretations of the “one like a son of man,” particularly in the Parables of Enoch, and what we find in the Gospel of John? How do Nathanael and the Jerusalem crowd’s “King of Israel” and Pilate’s “King of the Jews” influence our perspectives on Davidic/kingship traditions in Second Temple Judaism, especially in light of Roman rule? How do the Moses traditions in the Gospel of John add to our understanding of prophetic messiah expectations of the time?

====Registration====

Participation in the sixth Nangeroni Meeting is by invitation only. If you are interested in joining the meeting, please contact the organizers.

The registration fee is based on the number of Enoch Seminars/Nangeroni Meetings you have attended in the past:

$125 – Newcomers;
$110 – Attended 1 Seminar;
$100 – Attended 2 Seminars;

====Travel Information====
You may fly into either Florence, Rome, or Bologna. Then take the train to Arezzo.

From ''Florence'' (Peretola), you will need to take a bus/cab to the main train station, Santa Maria Novella, then the train to Arezzo.
From ''Rome'' (Fiumicino), you will take the train to Roma Termini, then to Arezzo.
From ''Bologna'' (Guglielmo Marconi), you will take the bus/taxi to Bolgona Centrale and from there to Arezzo.
Try to avoid local trains which stop at every station and therefore take much longer. Look for high-speed, intercity, or frecciarosa trains.

We will be scheduling a bus to take us from the Railway Station in Arezzo to Camalodoli at 5:00pm, June 19. There is a cafe in the Railway Station where folks have congregated in the past as they waited for the bus, so that will serve as our meeting point. If you are unable to make this bus, you can take the train from Arezzo to Bibbiena. From Bibbiena, you can take a taxi to Camaldoli (~20-30 euros); however, on a Sunday night, you may have difficulty locating a taxi in Bibbiena. You may also take a taxi directly from Arezzo to Camaldoli, but this will be more expensive (about 80+ euros)."

John the Jew: Reading the Gospel of John’s Christology as a Form of Jewish Messianism / 6th Nangeroni Meeting (2016 Camaldoli), conference

'''John the Jew: Reading the Gospel of John's Christology as a Form of Jewish Messianism''' (2016) is the topic of the sixth conference in the series of [[Nangeroni Meetings]] organised by the [[Enoch Seminar]] at Monastery of Camaldoli, near Arezzo, Italy (June 19 - 24, 2016).

==Sixth Nangeroni Meeting (Camaldoli, Italy; June 19 - June 24, 2016)==

Conference Committee: [[Gabriele Boccaccini]], [[Benjamin E. Reynolds]], and [[Deborah Forger]]

====Preliminary Information====

When: June 19 - June 24, 2016

Location of Seminar: Monastero di Camaldoli, near Arezzo, Italy (Località Camaldoli, 52010 Camaldoli)

Confirmed Participants:

Paul Anderson, Gabriele Boccaccini, Christiane Bramkamp, Jo-Ann Brant, James Charlesworth, Wally Cirafsi, Kelley Coblentz-Bautch, James Davila, Douglas Estes, Crispin Fletcher-Louis, Deborah Forger, Charles Gieschen, Robert Hall, Matthias Henze, Angela Kim Harkins, Jonathan Lo, William Loader, Grant Macaskill, Paul Mandel, Mary Marshall, James McGrath, Jocelyn McWhirter, Marida Nicolaci, Chad Pierce, Adele Reinhartz, Benjamin Reynolds, John Ronning, Shayna Sheinfeld, Beth Stovell, Andrea Taschl-Erber, Johnson Thomaskutty, Meredith J.C. Warren, Catrin Williams, Urban von Wahlde, Joel Willits, Ziony Zevit, and Ruben Zimmermann.

Purpose: The purpose of the sixth Nangeroni meeting is to explore the Gospel of John’s christology, traditionally considered to be “high christology,” as part of the diversity of Jewish messianism within the Second Temple Period. The focus of discussions will address John’s depiction of the messiah in relation to the following topics: “divinity” and a divine messiah, the Incarnation, wisdom traditions, Enoch traditions and the Son of Man, Davidic expectations, and Moses and Torah. The following questions will serve to guide our sessions: How and in what ways can the Gospel of John’s messiah be situated within Second Temple Period Judaism? Can John’s christology be seen as a part the diversity of Jewish messianism? If so, should it still be labeled a high christology? Can the Johannine messiah be considered “divine”? Were there other divine messiahs in Second Temple Judaism? What do we mean by “divine” and “divinity”? Is there a relationship between John’s λόγος and the Jewish sapiential tradition? What, if any, sort of relationship exists between Second Temple interpretations of the “one like a son of man,” particularly in the Parables of Enoch, and what we find in the Gospel of John? How do Nathanael and the Jerusalem crowd’s “King of Israel” and Pilate’s “King of the Jews” influence our perspectives on Davidic/kingship traditions in Second Temple Judaism, especially in light of Roman rule? How do the Moses traditions in the Gospel of John add to our understanding of prophetic messiah expectations of the time?

'''John the Jew: Reading the Gospel of John's Christology as a Form of Jewish Messianism''' (2016) is the topic of the sixth conference in the series of [[Nangeroni Meetings]] organised by the [[Enoch Seminar]] at Monastery of Camaldoli, near Arezzo, Italy (June 19 - 24, 2016).

==Sixth Nangeroni Meeting (Camaldoli, Italy; June 19 - June 24, 2016)==

Conference Committee: [[Gabriele Boccaccini]], [[Benjamin E. Reynolds]], and [[Deborah Forger]]

====Preliminary Information====

When: June 19 - June 24, 2016

Location of Seminar: Monastero di Camaldoli, near Arezzo, Italy (Località Camaldoli, 52010 Camaldoli)

Confirmed Participants:

Paul Anderson, Gabriele Boccaccini, Christiane Bramkamp, Jo-Ann Brant, James Charlesworth, Wally Cirafsi, Kelley Coblentz-Bautch, James Davila, Douglas Estes, Crispin Fletcher-Louis, Deborah Forger, Charles Gieschen, Robert Hall, Matthias Henze, Angela Kim Harkins, Jonathan Lo, William Loader, Grant Macaskill, Paul Mandel, Mary Marshall, James McGrath, Jocelyn McWhirter, Marida Nicolaci, Chad Pierce, Adele Reinhartz, Benjamin Reynolds, John Ronning, Shayna Sheinfeld, Beth Stovell, Andrea Taschl-Erber, Johnson Thomaskutty, Meredith J.C. Warren, Catrin Williams, Urban von Wahlde, Joel Willits, Ziony Zevit, and Ruben Zimmermann.

Purpose: The purpose of the sixth Nangeroni meeting is to explore the Gospel of John’s christology, traditionally considered to be “high christology,” as part of the diversity of Jewish messianism within the Second Temple Period. The focus of discussions will address John’s depiction of the messiah in relation to the following topics: “divinity” and a divine messiah, the Incarnation, wisdom traditions, Enoch traditions and the Son of Man, Davidic expectations, and Moses and Torah. The following questions will serve to guide our sessions: How and in what ways can the Gospel of John’s messiah be situated within Second Temple Period Judaism? Can John’s christology be seen as a part the diversity of Jewish messianism? If so, should it still be labeled a high christology? Can the Johannine messiah be considered “divine”? Were there other divine messiahs in Second Temple Judaism? What do we mean by “divine” and “divinity”? Is there a relationship between John’s λόγος and the Jewish sapiential tradition? What, if any, sort of relationship exists between Second Temple interpretations of the “one like a son of man,” particularly in the Parables of Enoch, and what we find in the Gospel of John? How do Nathanael and the Jerusalem crowd’s “King of Israel” and Pilate’s “King of the Jews” influence our perspectives on Davidic/kingship traditions in Second Temple Judaism, especially in light of Roman rule? How do the Moses traditions in the Gospel of John add to our understanding of prophetic messiah expectations of the time?

'''John the Jew: Reading the Gospel of John's Christology as a Form of Jewish Messianism''' (2016) is the topic of the sixth conference in the series of [[Nangeroni Meetings]] organised by the [[Enoch Seminar]] at Monastery of Camaldoli, near Arezzo, Italy (June 19 - 24, 2016).

==Sixth Nangeroni Meeting (Camaldoli, Italy; June 19 - June 24, 2016)==

Conference Committee: [[Gabriele Boccaccini]], [[Benjamin E. Reynolds]], and [[Deborah Forger]]

====Preliminary Information====

When: June 19 - June 24, 2016

Location of Seminar: Monastero di Camaldoli, near Arezzo, Italy (Località Camaldoli, 52010 Camaldoli)

Confirmed Participants:

Paul Anderson, Gabriele Boccaccini, Christiane Bramkamp, Jo-Ann Brant, James Charlesworth, Wally Cirafsi, Kelley Coblentz-Bautch, James Davila, Douglas Estes, Crispin Fletcher-Louis, Deborah Forger, Charles Gieschen, Robert Hall, Matthias Henze, Angela Kim Harkins, Jonathan Lo, William Loader, Grant Macaskill, Paul Mandel, Mary Marshall, James McGrath, Jocelyn McWhirter, Marida Nicolaci, Chad Pierce, Adele Reinhartz, Benjamin Reynolds, John Ronning, Shayna Sheinfeld, Beth Stovell, Andrea Taschl-Erber, Johnson Thomaskutty, Meredith J.C. Warren, Catrin Williams, Urban von Wahlde, Joel Willits, Ziony Zevit, and Ruben Zimmermann.

Purpose: The purpose of the sixth Nangeroni meeting is to explore the Gospel of John’s christology, traditionally considered to be “high christology,” as part of the diversity of Jewish messianism within the Second Temple Period. The focus of discussions will address John’s depiction of the messiah in relation to the following topics: “divinity” and a divine messiah, the Incarnation, wisdom traditions, Enoch traditions and the Son of Man, Davidic expectations, and Moses and Torah. The following questions will serve to guide our sessions: How and in what ways can the Gospel of John’s messiah be situated within Second Temple Period Judaism? Can John’s christology be seen as a part the diversity of Jewish messianism? If so, should it still be labeled a high christology? Can the Johannine messiah be considered “divine”? Were there other divine messiahs in Second Temple Judaism? What do we mean by “divine” and “divinity”? Is there a relationship between John’s λόγος and the Jewish sapiential tradition? What, if any, sort of relationship exists between Second Temple interpretations of the “one like a son of man,” particularly in the Parables of Enoch, and what we find in the Gospel of John? How do Nathanael and the Jerusalem crowd’s “King of Israel” and Pilate’s “King of the Jews” influence our perspectives on Davidic/kingship traditions in Second Temple Judaism, especially in light of Roman rule? How do the Moses traditions in the Gospel of John add to our understanding of prophetic messiah expectations of the time?

====Registration====

Participation in the sixth Nangeroni Meeting is by invitation only. If you are interested in joining the meeting, please contact the organizers.

The registration fee is based on the number of Enoch Seminars/Nangeroni Meetings you have attended in the past:

$125 – Newcomers;
$110 – Attended 1 Seminar;
$100 – Attended 2 Seminars;
$90 – Attended 3 Seminars;
$75 – Attended 4 or 5 Seminars + all emeriti;

====Accommodations====

The rate for All-inclusive accommodations at Camaldoli is as follows:

300 Euros - All Participants;
200 Euros - Respondents;
0 Euros - Major Paper Presenters

====Travel Information====
You may fly into either Florence, Rome, or Bologna. Then take the train to Arezzo.

From ''Florence'' (Peretola), you will need to take a bus/cab to the main train station, Santa Maria Novella, then the train to Arezzo.
From ''Rome'' (Fiumicino), you will take the train to Roma Termini, then to Arezzo.
From ''Bologna'' (Guglielmo Marconi), you will take the bus/taxi to Bolgona Centrale and from there to Arezzo.
Try to avoid local trains which stop at every station and therefore take much longer. Look for high-speed, intercity, or frecciarosa trains.

We will be scheduling a bus to take us from the Railway Station in Arezzo to Camalodoli at 5:00pm, June 19. There is a cafe in the Railway Station where folks have congregated in the past as they waited for the bus, so that will serve as our meeting point. If you are unable to make this bus, you can take the train from Arezzo to Bibbiena. From Bibbiena, you can take a taxi to Camaldoli (~20-30 euros); however, on a Sunday night, you may have difficulty locating a taxi in Bibbiena. You may also take a taxi directly from Arezzo to Camaldoli, but this will be more expensive (about 80+ euros)."

Paul Anderson, Gabriele Boccaccini, Christiane Bramkamp, Jo-Ann Brant, James Charlesworth, Wally Cirafsi, Kelley Coblentz-Bautch, James Davila, Douglas Estes, Crispin Fletcher-Louis, Deborah Forger, Charles Gieschen, Robert Hall, Matthias Henze, Angela Kim Harkins, Jonathan Lo, William Loader, Grant Macaskill, Paul Mandel, Mary Marshall, James McGrath, Jocelyn McWhirter, Marida Nicolaci, Chad Pierce, Adele Reinhartz, Benjamin Reynolds, John Ronning, Shayna Sheinfeld, Beth Stovell, Andrea Taschl-Erber, Johnson Thomaskutty, Meredith J.C. Warren, Catrin Williams, Urban von Wahlde, Joel Willits, Ziony Zevit, and Ruben Zimmermann.

Purpose: The purpose of the sixth Nangeroni meeting is to explore the Gospel of John’s christology, traditionally considered to be “high christology,” as part of the diversity of Jewish messianism within the Second Temple Period. The focus of discussions will address John’s depiction of the messiah in relation to the following topics: “divinity” and a divine messiah, the Incarnation, wisdom traditions, Enoch traditions and the Son of Man, Davidic expectations, and Moses and Torah. The following questions will serve to guide our sessions: How and in what ways can the Gospel of John’s messiah be situated within Second Temple Period Judaism? Can John’s christology be seen as a part the diversity of Jewish messianism? If so, should it still be labeled a high christology? Can the Johannine messiah be considered “divine”? Were there other divine messiahs in Second Temple Judaism? What do we mean by “divine” and “divinity”? Is there a relationship between John’s λόγος and the Jewish sapiential tradition? What, if any, sort of relationship exists between Second Temple interpretations of the “one like a son of man,” particularly in the Parables of Enoch, and what we find in the Gospel of John? How do Nathanael and the Jerusalem crowd’s “King of Israel” and Pilate’s “King of the Jews” influence our perspectives on Davidic/kingship traditions in Second Temple Judaism, especially in light of Roman rule? How do the Moses traditions in the Gospel of John add to our understanding of prophetic messiah expectations of the time?

Purpose: The purpose of the sixth Nangeroni meeting is to explore the Gospel of John’s christology, traditionally considered to be “high christology,” as part of the diversity of Jewish messianism within the Second Temple Period. The focus of discussions will address John’s depiction of the messiah in relation to the following topics: “divinity” and a divine messiah, the Incarnation, wisdom traditions, Enoch traditions and the Son of Man, Davidic expectations, and Moses and Torah. The following questions will serve to guide our sessions: How and in what ways can the Gospel of John’s messiah be situated within Second Temple Period Judaism? Can John’s christology be seen as a part the diversity of Jewish messianism? If so, should it still be labeled a high christology? Can the Johannine messiah be considered “divine”? Were there other divine messiahs in Second Temple Judaism? What do we mean by “divine” and “divinity”? Is there a relationship between John’s λόγος and the Jewish sapiential tradition? What, if any, sort of relationship exists between Second Temple interpretations of the “one like a son of man,” particularly in the Parables of Enoch, and what we find in the Gospel of John? How do Nathanael and the Jerusalem crowd’s “King of Israel” and Pilate’s “King of the Jews” influence our perspectives on Davidic/kingship traditions in Second Temple Judaism, especially in light of Roman rule? How do the Moses traditions in the Gospel of John add to our understanding of prophetic messiah expectations of the time?

====Registration====

Participation in the sixth Nangeroni Meeting is by invitation only. If you are interested in joining the meeting, please contact the organizers.

The registration fee is based on the number of Enoch Seminars/Nangeroni Meetings you have attended in the past:

$125 – Newcomers;
$110 – Attended 1 Seminar;
$100 – Attended 2 Seminars;
$90 – Attended 3 Seminars;
$75 – Attended 4 or 5 Seminars + all emeriti;
$0 – Attended 6 or more Enoch Seminars or Nangeroni Meetings

====Accommodations====

The rate for All-inclusive accommodations at Camaldoli is as follows:

300 Euros - All Participants;
200 Euros - Respondents;
0 Euros - Major Paper Presenters

====Travel Information====
You may fly into either Florence, Rome, or Bologna. Then take the train to Arezzo.

From ''Florence'' (Peretola), you will need to take a bus/cab to the main train station, Santa Maria Novella, then the train to Arezzo.
From ''Rome'' (Fiumicino), you will take the train to Roma Termini, then to Arezzo.
From ''Bologna'' (Guglielmo Marconi), you will take the bus/taxi to Bolgona Centrale and from there to Arezzo.
Try to avoid local trains which stop at every station and therefore take much longer. Look for high-speed, intercity, or frecciarosa trains.

We will be scheduling a bus to take us from the train station in Arezzo to Camalodoli at 5:00pm. If you are unable to make this bus, you can take the train from Arezzo to Bibbiena. From Bibbiena, you can take a taxi to Camaldoli (~20-30 euros); however, on a Sunday night, you may have difficulty locating a taxi in Bibbiena. You may also take a taxi directly from Arezzo to Camaldoli, but this will be more expensive (about 80+ euros)."

Purpose: The purpose of the sixth Nangeroni meeting is to explore the Gospel of John’s christology, traditionally considered to be “high christology,” as part of the diversity of Jewish messianism within the Second Temple Period. The focus of discussions will address John’s depiction of the messiah in relation to the following topics: “divinity” and a divine messiah, the Incarnation, wisdom traditions, Enoch traditions and the Son of Man, Davidic expectations, and Moses and Torah. The following questions will serve to guide our sessions: How and in what ways can the Gospel of John’s messiah be situated within Second Temple Period Judaism? Can John’s christology be seen as a part the diversity of Jewish messianism? If so, should it still be labeled a high christology? Can the Johannine messiah be considered “divine”? Were there other divine messiahs in Second Temple Judaism? What do we mean by “divine” and “divinity”? Is there a relationship between John’s λόγος and the Jewish sapiential tradition? What, if any, sort of relationship exists between Second Temple interpretations of the “one like a son of man,” particularly in the Parables of Enoch, and what we find in the Gospel of John? How do Nathanael and the Jerusalem crowd’s “King of Israel” and Pilate’s “King of the Jews” influence our perspectives on Davidic/kingship traditions in Second Temple Judaism, especially in light of Roman rule? How do the Moses traditions in the Gospel of John add to our understanding of prophetic messiah expectations of the time?
