Very well done regarding your experience.

Congrats on 5K! Much deserved. One of my favorite channels on youtube. Thanks for all you do, JM. It really has made a big difference in my spiritual journey. (I might be a bit 'biased, ' though, since I was born and raised in the UMC.)

Thanks for this video, congratulations on getting to see Christopher Wright again.

In any case, I was the one who chanted Psalm 23 during the Q&A. If you'd like to discuss Hebrew Cantillation sometime, maybe as part of a reading club after Emmylou's book comes out, I can explain some things. I've been figuring out lately how to recite biblical Hebrew in its proper rhythm. But I have many things to learn from other scholars, as well! John Hobbins was helpful, too.

Thanks Michael, I went to ETS this year for the first time and want to go to SBL next year!

I was looking through some of the photos from the SBL conference a few days ago, and if I did not let out an audible sigh of longing, I surely did in my heart. Unfortunately, I doubt such a trip will be in the budget any time soon.

Wow good to see Greg Richardson is doing well. Hopefully we get more content soon from his Bible Hacking channel. Love what you’re doing as well brother, thank you 🙏🏽 It’s a whole different world for someone like me ex-gang member who missed a lot of school lol but can’t get enough of the Bible, content like yours, Carmen Imes, Michael Heiser and many more.. THANK YOU

[andrewbolton]

Thanks for that. I'd gotten the impression that SBL was composed of radical non-believers, and any 'consumer' product associated with them should be avoided. But from your video it seems it's much wider than that.

My Dad was at Aberdeen university with Craig Blomberg in 1980, I think Craig gave him his Septuagint 😂

Oh! My comment got taken out by YouTube's spam filter, it seems. Can you please restore it?
I was at the session for Emmylou's book.

What does it mean to "present a paper"? To me is sounds like someone reading their dissertation out loud.
