The Gospel of Matthew has often been dubbed the “most Jewish Gospel.” But what does this evaluation even mean? If it is so Jewish, how so? What about the Jewishness of other Gospel texts such as Mark, Luke, and John? And what does “Jewish,” in any case, mean in Matthew’s time? In this session, the Enoch Seminar continues to critically appreciate the Jewish context and texture of early Christianity by focusing on Matthew’s particular relationship with(in) Judaism. Invited specialists will discuss anew the distinctive character of Matthew’s Gospel as they seek to relate it to its Jewish milieu in all of its complexity.
Every year the Enoch Colloquium in November is an opportunity for international specialists in Second Temple Judaism and Christian Origins to gather together and discuss topics of common interest.
 
The 2020 Enoch Seminar Colloquium (Nov 11-12) includes two major events:
 
* (a) a presentation (on Nov 11) of the book, ''A Guide to Early Jewish Texts and Traditions in Christian Transmission'', edited by Alexander Kulik et al. (New York: Oxford University Press, 2019). The volume is a major contribution to the study of the reception of Second Temple Jewish literature in Christian context.
 
* (b) a seminar (on Nov 12) on the ''The Place of Matthew within the Diversity of Second Temple Judaism and the Jesus Movement''. Specialists in Second Temple Judaism and Christian Origins will discuss the Jewishness of the Gospel of Matthew and its place in the diversity of Second Temple Judaism and early Christianity.
 
All are invited to register and attend these online events.


This meeting is an online event. Registration is free but required. Please contact the event secretary, Joshua Scott, for more details (scottjos@umich.edu).
On Nov 11, the annual "Enoch Seminar Reception" will also be held.
