We have two themed sessions: one on the Gospel of John, and the other on rhetorical criticism and the Pauline letters. The 3rd session was an open session. I'm presiding for the Paul presentations and am especially eager to hear the paper, among others, from Andrew Das of Elmherst College. I've read his work on Galatians and used select chapters to teach my classes with great appreciation for the quality of scholarship and insight (see, e.g., his Paul, Covenant and the Law and Paul and the Jews). And I just picked up his commentary on Galatians which is whopping 800+ pages. I might just bug him during our breaks and down-time about some of his work on Paul's view of the Torah and justification through faith.
In any case, our three sessions are outlined below, subject to any last minute adjustments. Looking forward to hearing these!
