Third Enoch Colloquium (2019 San Diego), conference

2019-10-31T14:28:19Z

Deborah Forger: /* Confirmed participants */

"The Gospel of John: Anti-Jewish or Radical Jewish Sectarianism?"

A four-hour workshop with Adele Reinhartz (University of Ottawa) and Gabriele Boccaccini (University of Michigan), chaired by Deborah Forger (Dartmouth College).

11/22/2019

1:00 PM to 5:30 PM

Room: 23A (Upper Level East) - Convention Center

Theme: "The Gospel of John: Anti-Jewish or Radical Jewish Sectarianism?"

"The Gospel of John: Anti-Jewish or Radical Jewish Sectarianism?"

This workshop will take as its starting point Adele Reinhartz’s new book Cast Out of the Covenant (Rowman & Littlefield, 2018), as well as the volume edited by Benjamin Reynolds and Gabriele Boccaccini, Reading the Gospel of John’s Christology as Jewish Messianism (Brill, 2018). Reinhartz and Boccaccini will open with some brief comments and then there will be a panel of respondents, who will introduce the general discussion where all invited participants will be asked to act as respondents.

San Diego, CA; SBL Meeting; Fri 22 Nov. 2019, 1-3pm, 3:30-5:30pm

Respondents:

* Alan Culpepper, Mercer University
* Jörg Frey, University of Zurich
* Marianne Meye Thompson, Fuller Seminary
* Benjamin Reynolds, Tyndale College
* Meredith Warren, University of Sheffield

"How can a Gospel that is so Jewish also be so anti-Jewish?" (Adele Reinhartz). "The contemporary emphasis on ancient Jewish diversity allowed us to read the Gospel of John as a first-century Jewish text and John's Christology as a variant of first-century Jewish messianism" (Gabriele Boccaccini)

At the center of the conversation will be the problem whether the Gospel of John should be defined as a "Jewish" or "anti-Jewish" document (or both or neither).

The goal is to offer an opportunity of dialogue between Johannine specialists and Second Temple scholars.

Deborah Forger:

'''Deborah Forger''' is an American scholar, at Dartmouth College (USA).

==Biography==

A postdoctoral scholar (2018–2021) in the Jewish Studies Program at Dartmouth College, Forger is a scholar of Second Temple Judaism and the New Testament, with an additional focus in early Jewish-Christian relations. She was a fellow at the Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic studies and received her Ph.D. from the University of Michigan, where she was awarded the Dolores Zohrab Liebmann Fellowship, a multi-year national dissertation award. Though later polemics suggest that Jews and Christians differentiated themselves based on their view of God’s body, her work complicates this picture by analyzing how first-century Jews envisioned God in corporeal form and humans as divine. She is also interested in questions of where, how, and when the ways parted between Jews and Christians, and how scriptural hermeneutics impacted, complicated, impinged upon, and fortified those separations.

She was a fellow at the Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic studies and received her Ph.D. from the University of Michigan, where she was awarded the Dolores Zohrab Liebmann Fellowship, a multi-year national dissertation award. Though later polemics suggest that Jews and Christians differentiated themselves based on their view of God’s body, her work complicates this picture by analyzing how first-century Jews envisioned God in corporeal form and humans as divine. She is also interested in questions of where, how, and when the ways parted between Jews and Christians, and how scriptural hermeneutics impacted, complicated, impinged upon, and fortified those separations.

Third Enoch Colloquium (2019 San Diego), conference

2019-07-09T19:23:52Z

Deborah Forger: /* Confirmed participants */

"The Gospel of John: Anti-Jewish or Radical Jewish Sectarianism?"

A four-hour workshop with Adele Reinhartz (University of Ottawa) and Gabriele Boccaccini (University of Michigan), chaired by Deborah Forger (Dartmouth College)

This workshop will take as its starting point Adele Reinhartz’s new book Cast Out of the Covenant (Rowman & Littlefield, 2018), as well as the volume edited by Benjamin Reynolds and Gabriele Boccaccini, Reading the Gospel of John’s Christology as Jewish Messianism (Brill, 2018). Reinhartz and Boccaccini will open with some brief comments and then there will be a panel of respondents, who will introduce the general discussion where all invited participants will be asked to act as respondents.

San Diego, CA; SBL Meeting; Fri 22 Nov. 2019, 1-3pm, 3:30-5:30pm

Respondents:

* Alan Culpepper, Mercer University
* Jörg Frey, University of Zurich
* Marianne Meye Thompson, Fuller Seminary
* Benjamin Reynolds, Tyndale College
* Meredith Warren, University of Sheffield

"How can a Gospel that is so Jewish also be so anti-Jewish?" (Adele Reinhartz). "The contemporary emphasis on ancient Jewish diversity allowed us to read the Gospel of John as a first-century Jewish text and John's Christology as a variant of first-century Jewish messianism" (Gabriele Boccaccini)

At the center of the conversation will be the problem whether the Gospel of John should be defined as a "Jewish" or "anti-Jewish" document (or both or neither).

The goal is to offer an opportunity of dialogue between Johannine specialists and Second Temple scholars.

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)."

====Provisional Schedule====

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)."

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 / 6th Nangeroni Meeting (2016 Camaldoli), conference

2015-11-02T16:36:17Z

Deborah Forger: /* Sixth Nangeroni Meeting (Camaldoli, Italy; June 19 - June 24, 2016) */

'''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 - 23, 2016).

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

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

====Preliminary Information====

When: June 19 - June 23, 2016

Location of Seminar: Camaldoli, near Milan, Italy

Confirmed Participants: [[Paul Anderson]], [[Joseph Angel]], [[Gabriele Boccaccini]], [[James Charlesworth]], [[Kelley Coblentz-Bautch]], [[James Davila]], [[Crispin Fletcher-Louis]], [[Deborah Forger]], [[Charles Gieschen]], [[Matthias Henze]], [[Angela Kim Harkins]], [[William Loader]], [[Grant Macaskill]], [[Paul Mandel]], [[James McGrath]], [[Isaac W. Oliver]], [[Andrei Orlov]], [[Chad Pierce]], [[Adele Reinhartz]], [[Benjamin Reynolds]], [[John Ronning]], [[Shayna Sheinfeld]], [[Loren Stuckenbruck]], [[Andrea Taschl-Erber]], [[Meredith J.C. Warren]], [[Catrin Williams]], [[Urban von Wahlde]], 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?
