The Enoch Seminar is an academic group of international specialists in Second Temple Judaism and Christian Origins, who share the results of their research in the field and biennially meet to discuss topics of common interest.
History
Founded in 2001 by Gabriele Boccaccini, the Enoch Seminar focuses on the period of Jewish history, culture and literature from the Babylonian Exile to the Bar-Kochba revolt—the period in which both Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism have their roots. The goal is to tear down the misleading walls of separation that still divide this field of research, recovering the unity and integrity of the period. Enoch is the symbol of this inter-canonical and inter-disciplinary effort, as he is present of each and all the canons that anachronistically divide sources from the period: Old Testament, Apocrypha, Pseudepigrapha, Dead Sea Scrolls, Jewish-Hellenistic literature, New Testament, Apostolic Fathers, etc.
Participation at the Enoch Seminar is by invitation only and is restricted to University professors and specialists in Second Temple Judaism and Christian Origins who have completed their PhD. To graduate students and PhD candidates, the Enoch Seminar offers a biennial meeting (the Enoch Graduate Seminar).
The Enoch Seminar is chaired by Gabriele Boccaccini (University of Michigan) and is made possible by fundings from the University of Michigan and from the Michigan Center for Early Christian Studies and the Alessandro Nangeroni International Endowment.

Guidelines for Organizing an Enoch Seminar
The Enoch Seminar is meant to be a meeting of between 50-80 people (as compared to the Nangeroni Meetings which are designed to have 25-35 participants). It includes:
- 12 major paper authors - 12 major paper respondents - 24 short paper authors - Up to 6 reading sessions chairs
Organizing an Enoch Seminar is a 4-step process
- First Step: An Enoch Seminar Member(s) proposes a topic, which then must be approved by the Enoch Seminar Board of Directors.
- Timeframe: 2 years prior to date of proposed Enoch Seminar
- Second Step: The appointed chair(s) of the Enoch Seminar should gather a group of at least 5-10 colleagues, who are committed to participate in the Meeting and collaborate on its organization. At this point, an email will be sent to the Enoch Seminar members, announcing the proposal and asking those who are particularly interested in the topic to join the organization of the Meeting.
- Timeframe: 1.5 years prior to the date of the Enoch Seminar
- Third Step: The appointed chair(s) must present the final schedule, including the major authors and paper topics to the Enoch Seminar Board of Directors for final approval.
- Timeframe: 1 year prior to the date of the Enoch Seminar
- Fourth Step: The Enoch Seminar Board of Directors will announce and advertise the program and registration for the Enoch Seminar until the maximum number of participants (50-80) is reached.
- Timeframe: 8-6 months prior to the date of the Enoch Seminar
