The Academy for Temple Studies and the USU Religious Studies
Program are very pleased to announce a distinguished co-sponsored program on
“Enoch and the Temple,” with a keynote address by George W. E. Nickelsburg,
emeritus professor of religion at the University of Iowa, member of the Enoch
Seminar, and highly recognized expert on 1 Enoch. Among his many publications
on the Enoch traditions is his landmark two-volume Hermeneia commentary on 1
Enoch. The second volume was published in 2012 by Fortress Press.
Please plan to attend. The public is invited. There will be
no charge for this event, although voluntary contributions are welcomed.
This program will be presented at Utah State University in
Logan, Utah, at 4:30-7:00 pm, on Tuesday, February 19, 2013, in the Geology
Building, Room 105. The keynote presentation will be introduced by Jared Ludlow
and will be followed by papers by David Larsen and Jeffrey Bradshaw. The
program will conclude with a panel discussion on temple themes and religious
messages in the Enoch literature, and there will be time for questions and
discussion.
This program will be repeated and the discussion will continue
at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, from 1:00-4:00 pm on Friday,
February 22, 2013, in 303 JRCB, the Law School Moot Court Room, with a few
additional participants on the panel. Watch for further details.
This is BIG. You seldom get a chance in Utah to hear someone this well-known and respected in Biblical Studies. Note that there are TWO sessions: one in Logan and one in Provo. Both will REPEAT the same presentations, but, obviously, the questions and discussions will be unique at each.
