Program Book for 2012 International SBL

The Program Book for the International SBL meeting has been posted. I am in the Judaica section. No, we are not discussing mezuzot and menorot. This section is dealing with ancient Jewish interpretation of Mikra. It looks like I will have to get up early and be on time!
