Two protagonists of Second Temple Studies, Louis H. Feldman and Joseph Mélèze-Modrzejewski, have recently passed away. May their memory be a blessing.
Just published by SBL Press. "The Jesus movement was not an Enochic movement but an outgrowth of the Enochic movement. The Synoptics are not Enochic texts but an answer to an Enochic problem" (Boccaccini, p.167)
The 6th and the 7th Nangeroni meetings were held in June 2016 in Camaldoli and Rome, respectively. The two groups of international scholars explored the Jewishness of Paul and John, reading these authors as Second Temple Jews in conversation with, and opposition against, other Jewish groups of the time.
Article by Prof. Philip Jenkins on the Enoch Seminar (The Anxious Bench, 30 May 2016).
The Sixth Enoch Graduate Seminar was held at Austin, TX (22-27 May, 2016), with Jonathan Kaplan, Kelley Coblentz Bautch, Isaac Oliver, and 24 talented international young scholars who were selected as the protagonists of this year's meeting.
Just published by Fortress. "Paul was not an apostle of intolerance who preached only one path to salvation, and was not only the apostle of Gentiles who showed two distinctive paths to salvation: the Torah for the Jews and Christ for Gentiles. Paul the Jew was the apostle of God's Mercy, announcing three paths to salvation: righteous Jews have the Torah, righteous Gentiles have their own conscience, and sinners (Jews and Gentiles alike) have Christ the Forgiver." (Gabriele Boccaccini)
