Memory Studies and the Historical Jesus at SBL 2013—Chris Keith

Some readers of the Jesus Blog will be interested to see this lineup for a special session on Memory Studies at the Historical Jesus group of the Society of Biblical Literature. I’m excited to participate in this session and thank James Crossley and Bob Webb for organizing it. No doubt, it will be lively, but all the people participating are excellent scholars and even better people. We’ll include more information for the session later when it is available.
