LEMCHE COLLOQUIUM. Jim West e-mails:

I am pleased to announce that beginning June 7 and continuing through June 21 Niels Peter Lemche will be participating in a colloquium on the Biblical Studies discussion list (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/biblical-studies/). The topic of the colloquium is "The Bible and History".

If you would like to participate, please sign up for list membership. Appropriate Posts will be forwarded to Professor Lemche and he will respond on list. The topic is rather wide ranging in order to allow maximum latitude within the dual realms where history and biblical texts intersect (if they indeed do).

Also, if you are a member of another list that deals with either biblical historiography or the history of Israel or the Near East, if you would be so kind as to pass this announcement on to them as well I would be grateful.
