The program for the upcoming SBL conference has now been online (www.sbl-site.org/congresses/Congresses_ProgramBook.aspx?MeetingId=7). One of the unfortunate scheduling issues is that even though the conference technically begins on Nov. 17, there are a good number of sessions on the 16th that I wasn’t aware of when I booked my flight. One session, in particular, appears very promising, but I fear many will miss it because they, like I, assumed that the sessions would actually fall within the dates they advertised. Note:

[...] The program guide for the Society of Biblical Literature 2007 Annual Meeting is now available: here. I haven’t had a chance to plot out my schedule yet, but as usual there seems to be a number of good sessions. Of course, this year’s SBL will be held in beautiful San Diego, so at least we can expect some nice weather as well. This is also a good time to make plans for visiting In-N-Out, which has the best burgers of its kind. [HT: Nijay K Gupta] [...]
