Second Temple Judaism and Christian Origins: Retrospect and Prospects
A Partnership Between Enoch Seminar and the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies (12-13 April, 2022)
Chairs: Gabriele Boccaccini and Joshua Scott
Language: English
Location: Rackham East and West Conference Rooms (University of Michigan-Ann Arbor) and Zoom
The Frankel Institute for Advanced Studies dedicated this year to the study of Second Temple Judaism and Christian origins. This two-day event is an opportunity to reflect as a community upon the past, present, and future of the field of Second Temple Judaism that is increasingly more complex (methodologies, geography, intergenerational) and its place within Judaic Studies. The hybrid event is organized in a seminar format and welcomes the 2022 Frankel Fellows, members of the University of Michigan community, and two special guests in the field of Second Temple Judaism, Prof. John Collins (Yale Divinity) and Prof. Amy-Jill Levine (Hartford International University/ Vanderbilt University – Emerita ). Each day will close with a public lecture by our distinguished guests.
