It's that time of year when anywhere between 10,000-12,000 religious scholars from around the globe (but mostly from North America) meet at the annual Society of Biblical Literature and American Academy of Religion meeting in San Diego from November 23-26, 2019. I'm continuing as co-chair of the Intertextuality in the New Testament Section and this year we have 5 sessions programmed at the annual meeting. Two of them are joint sessions shared with the Hebrews Section (i.e., the Letter to the Hebrews), two open sessions, and one we are sponsoring with the Composite Citations group.
I'm presiding over the first of our plenary sessions, and giving a response paper for the second. I'm preparing my response paper this coming week and look forward catching up with colleagues and friends at the meeting.
Please join us for the sessions. Below are the session dates, times, locations, presenters and their paper titles. Blessings! MJL
