Third Enoch Colloquium (2019 San Diego), conference
"The Gospel of John: Anti-Jewish or Radical Jewish Sectarianism?"
A four-hour workshop with Adele Reinhartz (University of Ottawa) and Gabriele Boccaccini (University of Michigan), chaired by Deborah Forger (Dartmouth College)
This workshop will take as its starting point Adele Reinhartz’s new book Cast Out of the Covenant (Rowman & Littlefield, 2018), as well as the volume edited by Benjamin Reynolds and Gabriele Boccaccini, Reading the Gospel of John’s Christology as Jewish Messianism (Brill, 2018). Reinhartz and Boccaccini will open with some brief comments and then there will be a panel of respondents, who will introduce the general discussion where all invited participants will be asked to act as respondents.
San Diego, CA; SBL Meeting; Fri 22 Nov. 2019, 1-3pm, 3:30-5:30pm
Respondents:
- Alan Culpepper, Mercer University
- Jörg Frey, University of Zurich
- Marianne Meye Thompson, Fuller Seminary
- Benjamin Reynolds, Tyndale College

"How can a Gospel that is so Jewish also be so anti-Jewish?" (Adele Reinhartz). "The contemporary emphasis on ancient Jewish diversity allowed us to read the Gospel of John as a first-century Jewish text and John's Christology as a variant of first-century Jewish messianism" (Gabriele Boccaccini)
At the center of the conversation will be the problem whether the Gospel of John should be defined as a "Jewish" or "anti-Jewish" document (or both or neither).
The goal is to offer an opportunity of dialogue between Johannine specialists and Second Temple scholars.
