‘First-Century Mark’ SBL Panel

Panelists (photo credit)

I’m at home with a newborn so I’m not attending SBL this year. But the big news was the all-star panel on “First-Century Mark.” Our own Elijah Hixson and Mike Holmes were on it as were Bart Ehrman, Roberta Mazza, Jill Hicks-Keeton, and Brent Nongbri.

From the reactions I’m seeing online, it sounds like it did not disappoint. I heard that evangelicals got a bit of a (deserved?) beating and that this blog was apparently a target at one point too. Even the emergency alarm went off! If, like me, you weren’t able to attend, you might want to read the excellent Twitter threads from David Bradnick, Candida Moss, and CJ Schmidt. Perhaps one of our esteemed contributors who was there could give us an after action report once the SBL dust settles (hint, hint).

Now back to diapers.
