  1. Would there be any MP3s available of the lectures? I would love to listen to Dr. Heads lecture on the Letter Carriers!

  3. Latinising Greek names is a rather disturbing trend.

  5. There has not been a new topic posted here in almost a week...so I wanted to ask if anyone knows of an update on the supposed 7 new NT papyri to be supposedly published by Brill including the supposedly 1st century fragment of Mark?

    It is amazing how time flies, but we are getting just a few months away from the "in about a year" that Dan Wallace mentioned back in February.
