Due to an administrative mixup, my SBL paper is, unfortunately, not listed in the program book this year. So, I thought I would provide an abstract here along with details. I will be presenting on Saturday in a thematic panel on "Christian Papyri from Oxyrhynchus" in the Papyrology and Early Christian Backgrounds group. Here is the current program lineup: 

S23-231 Papyrology and Early Christian Backgrounds
11/23/2013
1:00 PM to 3:00 PM
Room: Carroll - Hilton Baltimore Theme: Christian Papyri from Oxyrhynchus

AnneMarie Luijendijk, Princeton University, Presiding
Bart B. Bruehler, Indiana Wesleyan University
P39 and the Socio-Economic Spectrum of Christian Manuscripts at Oxyrhynchus in the Early Third Century (30 min)
Michael P. Theophilos, Australian Catholic University
Christian Prayer at Oxyrhynchus (30 min)
Todd Brewer, Durham University
Reading Thomas Backwards: From Nag Hammadi to Oxyrhynchus and Beyond (30 min)

My paper will be given sometime during this session, although I have not been told when I will go. In any case, here is the abstract of my paper:

Amulets from Oxyrhynchus with New Testament Citations  
This paper offers an analysis of a few of the amulets from Oxyrhynchus that contain New Testament citations (P.Oxy. VIII 1077; VIII 1151; LXIV 4406). The study is part of a larger project on the non-continuous manuscripts of the Greek New Testament in which, among other types of non-continuous materials, all extant New Testament amulets (in Greek) will be catalogued and studied in detail. In this preliminary study, we shall attend to matters palaeographical and textual in an effort to establish a better picture of these texts collectively, and to see how they may assist us in text-critical endeavors as well as in our questions concerning the early Christians from Oxyrhynchus. Thus, the analysis will nuance our perspective on Christians and their texts from Oxyrhynchus, but it will also have methodological implications for our treatment of Christian amulets generally.

I was very pleased indeed that I could attend this session. Your paper was well worth the trip to Baltimore!

Likewise! You should do your postdoc in the UK and work at Tyndale House!

If there were to be such an opportunity, trust me: I would jump at it! Well, as long as I could work with Peter Head :)
