The Fourth Enoch Colloquium (online)
12 November 2020 - 10am-4:30pm
Theme: Matthew within Early Judaism
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.
This meeting is an online event. Registration is free but required. Please contact the event secretary, Joshua Scott, for more details (scottjos@umich.edu).
Location: Online (Zoom invitation will be sent to participants in early November)
