![]() Next month, I will be traveling to St. Andrews, Scotland to attend the International Society of Biblical Literature, where I will give two papers in the "Working with Biblical Manuscripts (Textual Criticism)" section. While I have attended the annual SBL every year since 2007, I have not yet had the chance to attend an international meeting and so I am very excited to be part of two great panels. I am grateful to Tommy Wasserman and Jan Krans (co-chairs of the session) for inviting me to give a second paper — a true honor for a PhD candidate. I will be staying just a short distance from the famous Old Course, one of the oldest and most well-known golf courses in the world. It will also be exciting to be at the University of St. Andrews, "the oldest university in Scotland and the third oldest in the English-speaking world," founded between 1410 and 1413. I look forward also to hearing papers by my colleagues and friends, especially my fellow PhD candidate in my department, Calogero Miceli, who will read a paper on nourishment in the Gospel of Thomas (Nag Hammadi and Gnosticism session). The program for my sessions is copied below. I hope to see you in St. Andrews in a few weeks!

Brice, I am sorry I cannot come to the meeting this time, but I am very proud of the fine program including three sessions on Working with Biblical Manuscripts loaded with significant papers and fine scholars – you are one of them! Textual criticism is definitely up and coming!
