Okay, I’ve just finished attending the Society of Biblical Literature’s (SBL) annual conference held in Denver this week gone by. The theme was “Reconnect” which was especially appropriate as this was the first big post-COVID conference in biblical studies since 2019. I heard that 7,800 people attended the conference, down from the usual 12,0000 that they normally have. Not packed, but definitely robust in attendance. It did give me vibes of, “Chewy, we’re home!” So grateful to have been there and for so many good things that I heard and saw!
So sorry to hear of friends losing their jobs and their struggles with mental health. Glad you could be present for them to be an encouragement and friend. God bless you!
Mike, what are the particular papers that addressed John’s talking about “the Jews”? I’m struggling with how to translate its use when I’m translating the gospel. I wish I would have known about that session.
I’d love a copy of your papers!

I'd love a coy of the paper please. I'm negotiating starting a MA in Theoogy post semi retirement from teaching.
Are you intending to post a must have book list from conference?
Do I direct emai you or post my email here?
Envious of your summer time; here in UK it is wet with sprinkling of thunder. Kind regards Jan
