I will attend the SBL (Society of Biblical Literature) International Meeting, which will take place on July 4-7, 2011 at the famous King’s College, London.
I will speak in a session entitled “Working with Biblical Manuscripts” with a paper on “Working with Biblical Manuscripts: Joshua 10 at Qumran.” I will show how a new decipherment of the oldest fragments of the Book Joshua sheds light on the history of this fabulous text. See you in London!

Amélie Le Bihan has published a review of Qumrân: The Dead Sea Scrolls Reveales in Histara. She concludes by stating that this book:
présente de nombreux intérêts. Il s’agit en effet d’une synthèse complète sur l’histoire des manuscrits, de leur découverte et de leur contenu mais aussi leur remise en contexte dans la Judée antique (…). Il fait ainsi le bilan de plus de 60 ans de recherches sur ces manuscrits de la mer Morte et permet encore de renouveler notre connaissance des habitants juifs de Qumrân, de la naissance de la Bible, du judaïsme ancien et des premiers temps du christianisme. Ce livre est indispensable à toute personne s’intéressant à ces questions.

The full review is available on Histara’s website, or below in PDF format.
