The journal has finally arrived! And probably the largest volume so far. Some very interesting articles...I have a modest contribution in the book reviews section.

Wonderful being back in beautiful Salzburg after 8 years, this time with two students, Stephann and Jean-Marc. Beautiful scenery, check! Guided tours, check! But most of all, learning to work with ancient biblical manuscripts under the guidance of Kristin De Troyer.
