Just a reminder to my Mormon readers. The 2007 FAIR Conference is in just a few days at the Southtowne Conference Center up in SLC. I had thought I would be going but the amount of work I have this week is so ridiculous that it's just not going to happen. (Pity the small business owner) The conference starts this Thursday (August 2). Check out the above link for speaker information.
Talks I'm interested in are my old room-mate John Gee's talk on the Book of Abraham papyri. I think Brent Metcalf has made his old thesis difficult to accept in terms of argument and I eagerly await his responses. Richard Turley, author of the forthcoming Oxford book on the Mountain Meadows Massacre is speaking Friday. William Hamblin on myths of Solomon's Temple (is this a reference to Masonic myths popular in the early Church?). John Hall on tampering with early NT documents.
Yeah it's unfortunate the conference is during the week. (Come on guys, many of us have jobs!) But it does sound pretty interesting.
I had tickets a few months back, but it turns out I won't be able to go either. At least I am not missing out on chocolate too.
I've closed comments in order to avoid spam since I don't check this older blog as much anymore.
