It was great to finally meet @charlesmeadows.bsky.social in person at #SBLAAR2024. Alas, I forgot to take a photo.

I went to #SBLAAR2024 and came back with these books needing a good new home.

My retrospective on #SBLAAR2024
I talked to some of you far too much and others not nearly enough.

One major SBL highlight this year—watching @jasonstaples.bsky.social introduce @davidaburnett.bsky.social (who gave a great response to a paper) with walk up music: Never Gonna Give You Up. #SBLAAR2024 Apparently, videos don’t work on this site so I’ll just leave this photo of David’s reaction.

The ReMeDHe Graduate student get together went super well. Thanks to Misa and Jon Paul for organizing it! Glad to meet everyone this past #SBLAAR2024

These scholars demonstrated how they read the Bible in, from, & to As & As Am contexts and communities and why their voices and approaches are important for the wider guild #SBLAAR2024.
Panel: Adriana Tunliu, Dong Sung Kim, Joshua Garcia, Jordan Ryan, Elaine Wei-Fun Goh, & presider Sharon Jacob.

If you’re still around after #sblaar2024 check it out, 20 minute walk from the convention centre

What are you doing the day after #SBLAAR2024 if not binge watching X-Files and avoiding more real life responsibilities?

#SBLAAR2024 book haul! I never know what I’ll end up with and it always feels like early Christmas.

Ok #SBLAAR2024 friends now is the time I say—You should submit your paper for publication in a journal!! Since I edit for one, I can give you some guidance on how to do this (length, format, style, topics accepted, etc.), please send me a message! I’m ready to edit some awesome new stuff!!

Yesterday I presented my paper "Disappearing Artemis, Roman Colonization, and Minting in Ephesus: How Numismatics Informs our reading of the New Testament" in the Numismatic Evidence and Biblical Interpretation session. #SBLAAR2024

Airport check gate which shows a sign reading that the previous flight has departed for Boston.

At the gate to go home to Winnipeg, and the previous departure is off to Boston. A fitting prefigurance of next year’s festivities? #SBLAAR2024

Truly grateful for my time at #SBLAAR2024. Great feedback on my paper, seeing old friends, making new friends, and getting to meet several scholars who I admire and who are genuinely good people.

First AAR experience was very nice! #sblaar2024

From presentation giving to ocean swimming. The best end to #sblaar2024

Our blog is an excellent way for readers to learn about how our books relate to current events. Check out these blog posts to learn about religion-shaped foreign policy, the possibility of friendship in Israel/Palestine, the practice of contemplation, and more! https://buff.ly/3AQG1PV #SBLAAR2024

Friends at #sblaar2024 you can find this book and many more excellent titles from brilliant writers and scholars at the @fortresspress.bsky.social booth.

As much as I have enjoyed papers, a major thing I missed out on at SBL2023 was receptions. Receptions have been a game changer for me this year, not only getting to hear ideas but talk about projects I am working through! On top of that just getting to meet incredible people who care!

#sblaar2024

The highlight of my day at #sblaar2024 was getting to meet Dr. Brad Braxton whose book “No Longer Slaves” reminds us that Spirit always has a witness.

I am excited to show you these three books. I’m holding them up, but each of them is the work of many minds and hands. Each was co-edited with one or more excellent colleagues and has articles by many excellent scholars. It is great to see them out in the big, wide academic world at #sblaar2024
