Biography

Carlos A. Segovia was born in London, England, on May 22, 1970. In 2004 he earned his PhD in Philosophy and Religious Studies from the Complutense University of Madrid (Spain). From 2007 to 2011 he was Visiting Professor in Islamic Studies at the National University of Distant Education and the Camilo José Cela University, and Research Associate in Comparative Religious Studies at the University of Seville from 2008 to 2011. He is now Associate Professor in Religious Studies at the Camilo José Cela University and lecturer in Islamic Studies at Saint Louis University in Madrid, and teaches Moral Philosophy at Loyola University Maryland in Alcalá de Henares (Madrid). In 2009 he was appointed Associate Editor in charge for Spanish scholarship of 4 Enoch. From 2009 to 2012 he joined Book Reviews Commission of the journal Henoch, and in 2011 the Board of Directors of the Enoch Seminar. In 2012 he launched the Camilo José Cela University International Research Seminar Rethinking the Making of a Difference: Jewish-Christian Boundary Drawing in Late Antiquity with Pamela Michelle Eisenbaum (2013), Daniel Boyarin (2014), and Gabriele Boccaccini (2015); the seminar is co-sponsored by, and hosted at, the Xavier Zubiri Foundation in Madrid. He is also Associate Editor in charge for Early Islamic Studies of 4 Enoch. He chiefly works on early Islam in its Jewish-Christian setting and has recently launched with Guillaume Dye (Free University of Brussels [ULB]), Emilio González Ferrín (University of Seville), Manfred Kropp (Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz), and Tommaso Tesei (University of Notre Dame) the Early Islamic Studies Seminar: International Scholarship on the Qur'an and Islamic Origins, an academic group of international specialists associated to the Enoch Seminar who aim at exploring afresh different issues on the early history of Islam with the tools of Biblical criticism and the new methods put forth in the study of Second Temple Judaism, Christian and Rabbinic origins, and thereby contribute to the renewed study of formative Islam as part and parcel in the complex process of religious identity formation in late antiquity in close dialogue with scholars working in this latter field of research.
