The Bible and Archaeology Fest has now posted a schedule of speakers and their topics (pdf).
Lectures of greatest interest to me on the first day include:
David Ussishkin, “Sennacherib’s Attack on Lachish: What We have Learned from Archaeology”
Yosef Garfinkel, “The Sanctuary of Khirbet Qeiyafa: Judean Cult at the Time of King David”
Jodi Magness, “Masada: Last Stronghold of the Jewish Resistance against Rome”
James Tabor, “Was There an Essene Quarter and a “Church of the Apostles” on Mt. Zion in the time of Jesus? What We Know Now in 2010”
Amihai Mazar, “Beth Shean: Biblical Traditions and Archaeological Reality”
Other speakers for the weekend include Mark Wilson, Ben Witherington, James Charlesworth, Mark
Goodacre, Michael Coogan, William Dever, Craig Evans, and Marvin Meyer.
One thought on “Bible and Archaeology Fest 2010”
-J. Harold Ellens “Homosexuality in the Bible: The Case of
David and Jonathan”
–I'm glad I won't be there to see this one. Ellens trots out the now old and weary "the Bible doesn't really condemn modern, committed homosexual relationship" argument that is a stale as it is mistaken.
