Revision as of 21:02, 9 February 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 - 24, 2016).

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

Conference Committee: Gabriele Boccaccini, Benjamin E. Reynolds, and Deborah Forger

Preliminary Information

When: June 19 - June 24, 2016

Location of Seminar: Monastero di Camaldoli, near Arezzo, Italy (Località Camaldoli, 52010 Camaldoli)

Confirmed Participants:

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?

Travel Information

You may fly into either Florence, Rome, or Bologna. Then take the train to Arezzo.

From the Florence Airport (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 train station in Arezzo to Camalodoli at 5:00pm. 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)."
