=="The [[Enoch Seminar]]" by Philip Jenkins (30 May 2016)==
One of the most exciting areas today in Biblical scholarship (broadly defined) is the Enoch Seminar. Founded in 2001, it originally focused on the literature associated with the patriarch Enoch, but has since branched out massively, almost to become a field in its own right. The changing limits of that field are fascinating, both for their present state and their emerging dimensions.
The main Seminar meetings occur regularly in a variety of international settings, and are strictly intended for credentialed scholars, by invitation only. The actual roster of experts varies widely on each occasion, but with some continuity. Since 2006, there is also a graduate seminar that meets every two years, most recently last week in Austin TX, where I had the privilege of serving as a faculty mentor.
So what does the Enoch Seminar do? It describes its topic areas as “Second Temple Judaism, Christian, Rabbinic and Islamic Origins,” and that staggeringly broad reach is deliberate. The basic theme is that the Jewish world between, say, 300 BC and 200 AD, included a great many ideas and themes, some of which fit well into standard and orthodox views of Jewish history, but others would be viewed as Christian, Jewish-Christian, Gnostic or Jewish-sectarian.
At the time, though, those various ingredients all belonged in one common cauldron of ideas, without hard boundaries separating them. Nor was it obvious which elements were going to become components of world religions, and which would be consigned to obscure heresies. The more you investigate this period, moreover, the more absurd become the traditional divisions that scholars once drew about which texts were “more Jewish,” and which Gentile or Hellenistic. (See for instance 150 years of debate on the Gospel of John).
One theme that emerges repeatedly: just because an idea or theme does not fit within the mold of later Rabbinic Judaism does not mean that its origins were not thoroughly Jewish.
This is, in fact, one of the most critical eras in the history of religion. It also left a vast range of writings, including standard Jewish and Christian texts, but also a range of apocrypha and pseudepigrapha. You get a sense of the scope we are dealing with here from the various edited volumes that have emerged from the Seminar. In 2009, for instance, the main Seminar met in Italy, and its discussions appeared under the title New Perspectives on 2 Enoch, edited by Andrei A. Orlov and Gabriele Boccaccini. In 2012, again, the Seminar pursued the theme The Seleucid and Hasmonean Periods and the Apocalyptic Worldview, and that is now the title of the just published collection, edited by Lester L. Grabbe and Gabriele Boccaccini, with Jason M. Zurawski. For anyone working in the areas of early Jewish history and Christian origins, these collections are just indispensable.
To see what younger scholars are up to now, you can check out the titles of the recent Austin papers here. I stress, just the titles, not the full-length papers. All are very much works in progress, and the authors don’t want to give public access to works that are still in the course of development. Nor, understandably, do they want other people purloining their ideas before they can be properly published. But the list of topics is very wide, and deeply impressive, as was the dazzling diversity of themes. And so was the level of execution and presentation. If this is the next scholarly generation, this is wonderful news.
I had my own particular favorites from the papers presented, but won’t embarrass the ones I select or ignore!
One question that does occur. Just glance at the range of eras, themes and societies covered in this conference. How on earth would we find a single overarching description for all these, if we did not use the convenience term “Enochic”?
If you trace the Enoch field through the past sixteen years, it is intriguing to see the directions in which research has been leading, logically and almost inevitably. Today, the main area of focus is shifting to Islamic origins, and the roots of Islam in Jewish and Christian soil. If recent seminars are anything to go by, watch for major insights and unsuspected connections in that area.
And where next, we ask?
If you want to see the cutting edge actually cutting, this is where it is happening.
==Overview==
'''4 Enoch: The Online Encyclopedia of [[Second Temple Judaism]] and [[Christian Origins]]''' is an academic project of the [[Enoch Seminar]], created in 2009 by [[Gabriele Boccaccini]] (University of Michigan, USA), in collaboration with the late [[Hanan Eshel]] (Bar-Ilan University, Israel), [[Loren T. Stuckenbruck]] (Princeton Theological Seminary, USA), and [[Carlos A. Segovia]] (Camilo José Cela University, Spain). The current Board of Directors of the Enoch Seminar includes: [[Gabriele Boccaccini]] (chair), [[Kelley Coblentz Bautch]], [[Esther Eshel]], [[Matthias Henze]], [[Pierluigi Piovanelli]], [[Carlos A. Segovia]], and [[Loren T. Stuckenbruck]]. See the [http://www.enochseminar.org Enoch Seminar Website]
 
Born as a bibliography in the early 1990s and developed as a database in the 2000s, '''4 Enoch''' has been made freely accessible online in wiki-format since August 2009. It now includes more than 1,000 encyclopedic entries, 8,000 abstracts of scholarly and fictional works, 3,000 biographies of scholars and authors, from the 15th century to the present...
'''4 Enoch''' offers a comprehensive and authoritative introduction to Scholarship and Fiction in Second Temple Judaism (including [[Early Samaritan Studies|Samaritan]] and [[Christian Origins|New Testament Studies]]), i.e. the period from Ezekiel to the completion of the New Testament and the Mishnah. It also deals with the roots of Second Temple traditions in the [[Ancient Israel Studies|Ancient Israelite Religion]], as well as the influence and legacy of those traditions for [[Early Christian Studies|Christian]], [[Early Jewish Studies|Jewish]] and [[Early Islamic Studies|Islamic Origins]], up to the time of the completion of the [[Qur'an]]. 4 Enoch includes scholarly and fictional works authored [[Works' chronology|from the mid-15th century to the present]], [[Countries|all around the world]], with biographies of [[Scholars]] and [[Authors]] and a Dictionary of [[People]], [[Places]], [[Topics]], etc. of Second Temple Judaism & Christian Origins.
With more than 20,000 pages, "4 Enoch" provides a comprehensive '''WHO's WHO''' of the period, as well as '''BIOGRAPHIES''' of Scholars and Authors, and '''ABSTRACTS''' of scholarly and fictional Works, authored from the mid-15th century to the present, all around the world. Still a work in progress, the Encyclopedia, created in 2009 by [[Gabriele Boccaccini]] of the University of Michigan with the collaboration of [[Carlos A. Segovia]] of the Camilo Jose Cela University Madrid, is the collective work of international specialists in the field associated with the [[Enoch Seminar]] [http://www.enochseminar.org ]
*''Are you a scholar or graduate student, and would you like to contribute to the Encyclopedia?'' Please, contact Editor-in-Chief Professor [[Gabriele Boccaccini]] <gbocca@umich.edu>, or Associate Editor Professor [[Carlos A. Segovia]] <segoviamail@gmail.com>, and join the team of international specialists working in this project.
*Visit [http://www.enochseminar.org/drupal/ ENOCH SEMINAR Online] to see the many activities of the [[Enoch Seminar]].
*4 Enoch is a work in progress (changes are made of a daily basis). Some entries are fully developed, others exist only in a draft form. Everytime you visit the site, you will see that new features have been added.
*It is the editors' understanding in good faith that each and all uploaded images are either of public domain or are here reproduced exclusively for non-commercial, educational purposes. If by mistake any rights were violated, the image will be immediately removed. 
*''Note'': 4 Enoch is a work in progress. In the first phase (Aug 2009 - Jul 2010) thousands of entries (abstracts of works of scholarship and fiction, biographies of scholars and authors, etc.) were included.
The keywords associated with each bibliographical and biographical entry have generated numerous "Subject entries" or "Categories" (now existing mostly in a draft form), which in the second phase of the project (Aug 2010 - Aug 2014) are now in the process of being assigned to specialists and developed as original contributions to the study of [[Second Temple Judaism]] and [[Christian Origins]]

Two protagonists of Second Temple Studies, Louis H. Feldman and Joseph Mélèze-Modrzejewski, have recently passed away. May their memory be a blessing.


2016 Stuckenbruck Boccaccini.jpg


Just published by SBL Press. "The Jesus movement was not an Enochic movement but an outgrowth of the Enochic movement. The Synoptics are not Enochic texts but an answer to an Enochic problem" (Boccaccini, p.167)


7th Nangeroni Faculty.jpg


6th Nangeroni Monastero.jpg


The 6th and the 7th Nangeroni meetings were held in June 2016 in Camaldoli and Rome, respectively. The two groups of international scholars explored the Jewishness of Paul and John, reading these authors as Second Temple Jews in conversation with, and opposition against, other Jewish groups of the time.

Sixth Enoch Seminar group1.jpg


The Sixth Enoch Graduate Seminar was held at Austin, TX (22-27 May, 2016), with Jonathan Kaplan, Kelley Coblentz Bautch, Isaac Oliver, and 24 talented international young scholars who were selected as the protagonists of this year's meeting.


Paul the Jew Boccaccini.jpg


Just published by Fortress. "Paul was not an apostle of intolerance who preached only one path to salvation, and was not only the apostle of Gentiles who showed two distinctive paths to salvation: the Torah for the Jews and Christ for Gentiles. Paul the Jew was the apostle of God's Mercy, announcing three paths to salvation: righteous Jews have the Torah, righteous Gentiles have their own conscience, and sinners (Jews and Gentiles alike) have Christ the Forgiver." (Gabriele Boccaccini)
