While there is much to lament about the fact that AAR is no longer meeting conterminously with SBL, there is still a lot of good stuff to look forward to for those who will be attending.Personally, I think that the highlight of the conference will be the twoo sessions on “Explorations in Theology and Apocalyptic.” Here is the list of presenters and meetings for those who are interested. I’d advise anyone coming to AAR next month to make sure to attend these sessions.
