For information on the annual Society of Biblical Literature Meeting in Chicago, November 17-20, 2013, and how you can register to attend see here. This is only one of hundreds of sessions, plus the American Academy of Religion, the American Schools of Oriental Research, and the Biblical Archaeology Society Bible and Archaeology Fest meet over that same week and weekend in Chicago just before Thanksgiving. This is the event of the year for most of us who work in my academic field of Bible and Archaeology and it would be great to see many of my “nonspecialist” blog readers in my favorite city in the USA.
