SBL Paper Accepted

Since my laptop has been shipped out to HP for a motherboard replacement, I thought I'd swing by the local library and check my email today. I'm glad I did. Waiting for me was a response from Dr. C. Rothschild that my paper for the 2009 Midwest Region SBL was accepted. I will be presenting in the Gospels Section. Here's the title of the paper: A New Reason for Jesus’ Death: Reading Mark Socio-culturally.

  6. Michael,
    Once I get my laptop back, I shall try to send it your way.

    Kate,
    Thanks.

    Josh,
    Check out my CV on the "About" page of Pisteuomen. Currently, I am planning to do PhD work in biblical studies (first I must get into a school!).

    Chris,
    Thanks. (BTW, it's a lip ring, and after I present the paper, I will probably post it on Pisteuomen, we'll see.)

    Anon & James,
    Thanks to both of you as well. I'm excited about the opportunity to present.

  7. Congratulations Michael. I'm sure you don't actually need anyone to read a draft for you before you present it. I hope the programme lets me get to the Mark session. I think anyone you let read it beforehand should consider themselves honoured!
