Wish I were going to SBL 2009

I'm staying home this year. I feel a little left out, so this is my attempt to involve myself.

Here's a list of Duke-affiliated presenters (thanks Stephen).

Lots of these presentations sound great. There is one, however, that I've actually read, and it's fantastic: Hans Arneson's "Vocabulary and Date in the Study of Wisdom: A Critical Review of the Arguments”. If you're at all interested in the question of when Wisdom of Solomon was written, you do not want to miss this paper. I don't want to spoil the surprise, so I'll just say that it appears Arneson has demolished the widely accepted argument for determining Wisdom's date.

  2. On another note, I realized that the SBL Handbook on Style is available online for SBL members as a PDF document. But there is also a new (revised Feb 2009) Student Supplement to it.

  3. Are you also recording the session on Marcus's Mark commentary? If not, perhaps Mr. Washington could persuade you.

  4. The Marcus Mark session and the Romans (Gaventa, Hays, Gorman) are at the same time. I'm tentatively approved by all of them to tape that one.

  5. By the way, there are lots of other sessions by Duke people that are for some reason not coming up in a search on the Annual Meeting page website.

    http://www.sbl-site.org/meetings/Congresses_ProgramBook.aspx?MeetingId=15

    I sent them a note to complain.

  6. These are the Duke people that the online keyword search of "Duke" at the SBL online program book misses: Rowe, Verhey, Dawson, Smith, Marcus, Moore, Sours, Trick, Lieber, Davis, Marcus, Campbell, Lee.
