Enoch and the Mosaic Torah

The early Enoch literature does not refer to the Mosaic Torah or emphasize the distinctively Mosaic laws designed for Israel. But the book of Jubilees gives room to both Mosaic and Enochic traditions within the Sinaitic revelatory framework. What, then, should we make of such differences?

Gabriele Boccaccini is professor of Second Temple Judaism and Christian origins at the University of Michigan and director of the Enoch Seminar. Giovanni Ibba is adjunct professor of Biblical Hebrew at Central Italy Theological Seminary in Florence and adjunct professor of history of religions at the University of Siena, Italy.
