Within Judaism? Within Second Temple Judaism? 

Is the NT a corpus of “Jewish” texts?

An online symposium presented by the Enoch Seminar: Second Temple Judaism & Christian Origins

The Symposium is an opportunity to convene all international specialists who have been working or are interested in this new Perspective. The goal is to discuss, theoretically and in practical terms, what are the challenges and implications of reading the New Testament as a collection of “Jewish” text, starting from the question of how we define an ancient text as a “Jewish” text and when it ceases (if it ceases) to be such. As is typical of all Enoch Seminar meetings, ample time will be dedicated to discussion and exchange of ideas among the participating scholars.

The symposium is an open forum. We are inviting not only scholars who are committed to the “within-Judaism” Perspective but also specialists in Second Temple Judaism and the New Testament who can constructively express caveats and suggestions and raise interesting questions about the “Jewishness” of NT Texts.
