Eighth Enoch Seminar Overview

Theme: “Apocalypticism and Mysticism”

Chairs: Lorenzo DiTommaso (Concordia University Montreal), Daniel Boyarin (University of California at Berkeley), and Elliot Wolfson (University of California at Santa Barbara)

Date: June 21-26, 2015

Place: Gazzada, Italy, Villa Cagnola

Area of Focus:

The Seminar topic is apocalypticism and mysticism, their natures and relationship, in Judaism and Christianity from the Second Temple era through the late antique and early mediaeval centuries. Our aim is to discuss the main issues in light of new evidence, methodologies, and approaches, oriented by a desire to advance the discussion along a broad front. While we do not expect to address every issue or answer every question, we do anticipate that the published results of our Seminar will stand as a foundational study for future research.
