I want to draw your attention to great new temple-related material which has been posted at the Academy for Temple Studies website at TempleStudies.org.

  • An “Enoch and the Temple” conference occurred in February 2013, with a keynote by George Nickelsburg. Videos of the conference are now available.
  • The Temple Studies Bibliography has been updated again, with inclusions of 900 more titles since its launch in the Fall of 2012, including a number of dissertations on temple themes.  The bibliography is over 700 typed pages long!
  • A list of online Enoch resources has been posted.
  • Book reviews, Article Abstracts, and Dissertation Abstracts have also now begun to be posted to the site, coming from titles in the Temple Studies Bibliography.

These are great new resources for any student of temple studies to increase in learning.  You can also subscribe by email to the Academy for Temple Studies, to get updates as soon as they’re posted.
