Various changes in the SBL/AAR programs for the Philadelphia meetings are taking
place, so be sure to base any plans on the ONLINE programs (www.sbl-site.org),
not the printed one. Details about the planned PSCO meeting on Friday night (18
November) will be forthcoming. Meanwhile the following have come to my
attention:
The session listed as S19-130 "The Dead Sea Scrolls Electronic Library" switches
places with S21-86 "Wisdom and Apocalypticism in Early Judaism and Early
Christianity." Thus the DSS will now be on Monday 1:00-3:30 (Washington C, Loews
hotel; see further below), while the Wisdom/Apocalypticism will be Saturday at
4:00-6:30 (room 108B). Details on the DSS section follow (thanks to Emanuel
Tov):
> Further to the published SBL program, please note that the following
