SBL New England Regional Meeting
Calvin and I have registered for the SBL New England Regional Meeting held this April at Andover-Newton. This will be our first official meeting of this sort as members. I’m excited!
I’m trying to decide among the following sessions (already a narrowed down list, of course):
Morning Session
- “The Nature and Identity of ‘Satan’ in 1 Chronicles 21:1” or
- “Oral Background of the Binding of Isaac” or
- “What to Do When YHWH Attacks: Three Targumic Treatments of Exodus 4:24-26”
Afternoon Session
- “The Literary Sophistication of the Deuteronomistic History” or
- “Navigating ‘Deuteronomistic History’ as Cultural Memory” or
- “Araunah’s Threshing Boards (2 Samuel 24:16-25)”
Also, John J. Collins from Yale will be giving the Presidential address. I’m looking forward to hearing him speak, because as I’ve mentioned before, Yale is one of the schools I’m considering.

Okay, I say we split up in the morning, and I’ll give up Ben Sira in the afternoon in favor of the Literary sophistication of the DtrH. What do you say?
