Loren T. Stuckenbruck - Gabriele Boccaccini (eds.), Enoch and the Synoptic Gospels: Reminiscences, Allusions, Intertextuality (Atlanta, GA: SBL Press, 2016).

Abstract

"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"--Gabriele Boccaccini, p.167

"Since Richard Laurence published the first English translation of 1 Enoch in 1821, its importance for an understanding of early Christianity has been generally recognized. The present volume is the first book of essays contributed by international specialists in Second Temple Judaism devoted to the significance of traditions found in 1 Enoch for the interpretation of the Synoptic Gospels in the New Testament. Areas covered by the contributions include demonology, Christology, angelology, cosmology, birth narratives, forgiveness of sins, veneration, wisdom, and priestly tradition."--Publisher description.
