Founded in 1979 by Paolo Sacchi, HENOCH: Studies in Judaism and Christianity from Second Temple to Late Antiquity is an international Journal devoted to the diversity of Second Temple Judaism in the period following the Babylonian exile, and to the interactions between formative Judaism and formative Christianity up to the rise of Islam. Since 2005 the journal has been directed by Gabriele Boccaccini.
The ancient patriarch Enoch is the hero and patron, not because the interests of the Journal are restricted to “Enochic Studies,” but because Enoch is an inter-canonical, inter-disciplinary character par excellence and as such requires an inter-canonical, interdisciplinary approach by specialists of both Judaic and Christian Studies. Enoch is the symbol of our determination to go beyond the traditional boundaries that still divide anachronistically our field of research.
The use of English as the major (though not exclusive) language of the Journal signals the enthusiastic embracement of the perspective of a new global society of learning. At the same time, the presence of six distinct linguistic Editorial Boards (American, French, German, Israeli, Italian, and Spanish) is aimed at giving recognition to the specific contribution of each national school to the development of the field, preserving the autonomy and richness of their distinct identities.
The Journal HENOCH is published by Morcelliana (Brescia, Italy), and sponsored by the Michigan Center for Early Christian Studies.
