SBL Call for Papers goes live

The SBL Annual Meeting Call for Papers went live yesterday (15th). Or at least all the programme chairs were encouraged to get our calls for papers on-line by yesterday. In fact it looks like slim pickings at the moment. But some are available and here's the link:

SBL Annual Meeting 2006: Call for Papers

Jim West draws attention to the call from the Jesus, John and History section. Perhaps I might draw attention to our short call for papers in the Synoptics Section:

Synoptic Gospels
Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Synoptic Gospels section is planning a themed session on the Birth Narratives in Matthew and Luke. Participation in that session is by invitation of the steering committee only. In addition, paper proposals are being accepted for at least one open session. You are encouraged to submit your proposals on any subject relevant to the study of the Synoptic Gospels. Please make offers through the SBL Website only.
