Call For Papers: In this inaugural year of the John the Baptist program unit we are pleased to have three sessions: 1) A book review session focused on two new books: James F. McGrath's John of History, Baptist of Faith (Eerdmans 2024) and Edmondo Lupieri's John of the Mandaeans (Gorgias 2024). While the panel will be assembled by invitation, expressions of interest to the program unit chairs are welcome. This session is co-sponsored by the Traditions of Eastern Late Antiquity AAR program unit. 2) A session exploring non-canonical accounts of the life and death of John the Baptist. This session will be co-sponsored by the Christian Apocrypha SBL program unit. 3) A third open session.
