See You in Baltimore - Le Donne

Every year I mark one or two "don't miss" sessions in my AAR/SBL program book. Here is one that I will attend come hell or high water. Even if Hebrew Bible isn't your thing, this session will not disappoint. Promises to be lively and discuss big picture developments.  I don't mind saying that there are a few really brilliant and entertaining personalities featured here.
