Latest Poll - SBL Baltimore, Monday, Nov. 25 (Which Would You Choose)? - Le Donne

It has come to my attention that Chris and I have been slotted in competing sessions at our conference in Baltimore. We're both scheduled at 4pm on Monday, November 25th. I have provided the roster for both sessions below. The first session features authors who have contributed to the use of "social memory" in Jesus studies (Keith and Rodríguez) alongside two recent critics of the use of memory in this field (Crook and Foster). The second session features a panel review of Dale Allison's long-anticipated International Critical Commentary on James as a platform for Jewish-Christian dialogue.

If given a choice between these two, which would you choose? You can vote above and comment below.
