#SBLAAR2020: Days 5-7

I guess Friday was day 5 of AAR/SBL but there was nothing for me to attend. Yesterday, I listened to the wonderful SBL Presidential Address by Adele Reinhartz: “The Hermeneutics of Chutzpah: A Disquisition on the Value/s of ‘Critical Investigation of the Bible'” (I highly recommend it) before catching part of the AAR Plenary Panel: “What Do We, as Scholars of Religion, Value?” Today, I’m listening to the session “Bible and Emotion / Prayer in Antiquity” on my lunch break and I hope to catch the session “Biblical Literature and the Hermeneutics of Trauma” later today.
