| Summary: | Enoch studies are a growth industry. Thirty years ago, few people in biblical studies knew anything about Enoch; many knew nothing at all, and this did not really matter. Now, there are major conferences devoted not just to Enoch, but to subsections of the Enoch industry. The effect on biblical studies will prove to be comparable to the effect of vernacular translations of the Bible. The world of biblical study is no longer limited by the canon, and sola scriptura is now a serious impediment even for Bible-based theologians., The Enoch Seminar first convened in 2001, the second was in 2003, and the third was in 2005. This is an important and welcome development. The first volume from that seminar, The Origins of Enochic Judaism, appeared as Henoch 14.1–2 (2002). This is the second. |
