John within Judaism (March 14, 2023)
John within Judaism
Tuesday, March 7, 2023 -- 9am-11:30am EST
The online colloquium will explore the methodological and conceptual implications of a reading of the Gospel of John "within Judaism," as part of the broader trend of reading the texts of the NT (Paul, Mark, Matthew, Luke) as Second Temple Jewish literature. What does "within Judaism" mean? How does it interact with categories like sectarianism, anti-Judaism and supercessionism, often applied to the same texts? Benjamin Reynolds (chair), Wally Cirafesi and Adele Reinhartz will introduce the discussion among a large panel of specialists, moderated by Gabriele Boccaccini. Joshua Scott is the secretary and technical assistant of the event.

Letter of invitation
The Enoch Seminar is organizing an online colloquium on the methodological and conceptual implications of a reading of the Gospel of John "within Judaism," as part of the broader trend of reading the texts of the NT (Paul, Mark, Matthew, Luke) as Second Temple Jewish literature. What does "within Judaism" mean? How does it interact with categories like sectarianism, anti-Judaism and supercessionism, often applied to the same texts? Benjamin Reynolds (chair), Wally Cirafesi and Adele Reinhartz will briefly introduce the discussion among a large panel of specialists, moderated by Gabriele Boccaccini. Joshua Scott is the secretary of the event.
