The AAR and SBL Annual Meetings in November are still a long way off, but it has been delightful to see several things come together, and now for details to begin to emerge so that they can be shared. The AAR program book is now online and so you can search it and see what will be happening.

Details can be found on the Enoch Seminar and 4Enoch websites, and more details will be forthcoming. But for now, here’s what is already in place:
