Meetings in Groningen
posted by Ken @ 11:23:00 AM

Well, it has been a long time since I blogged. I've been busy trying to complete my Master's thesis (which still isn't done) and, from July 22nd to July 29th, I was in Groningen, Netherlands to attend the International Meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature and present my paper on 1 Chronicles 21 at the Annual Meeting of the European Association of the Biblical Studies.

The conference was great. I had the opportunity to meet with students at University of Groningen as well as numerous major scholars in Europe, including Thomas Thompson, Philip Davies, Diana Edelman, and others. I particularly enjoyed spending an evening at the bar with Thomas Thompson and debating historical methodology in biblical studies. We talked in the bar until closing time when we took our conversation into the street. Finally, his wife showed up to break up the discussion (and still we talked much to chagrin of his wife)! I also ran into Eugene Ulrich, editor of the Discoveries in the Judean Desert series, and luckily Roy Brown, owner of OakTree Software (the makers of Accordance), had a camera and snapped this picture of Ulrich and myself:

Anyways, I shall update my blog with further comments on the meetings soon. For now, it is back to work on my thesis!
