The International SBL conference this summer will be in Vienna, and I\u2019m going to be there for part of it. I\u2019d be interested to know if any other scholars and students of Biblical studies whom I know will be there. If so, let me know!<\/p>\n

The European Association of Biblical Studies meets jointly with the Society of Biblical Literature, and has a section on the Bible and Science Fiction. I\u2019ll be honest that that is the main reason I\u2019m going \u2013 to see what kinds of things are happening under the auspices of that program unit.<\/p>\n

I had originally thought I\u2019d be attending the SNTS conference in Szeged, Hungary<\/a>, but the timing of the conference ended up not working for my own schedule, to my great disappointment.<\/p>\n

But visiting Vienna may help make up for it. I\u2019ve been through Vienna before, but have never had time to visit, and so this trip I\u2019ll be seeking to rectify that. Some of the places that a fan of late 19th and early 20th century music ought to visit are obvious. But are there any less obvious ones that readers of this blog would recommend? And are there any places of specific interest to fans of the music of Erich Wolfgang Korngold?<\/p>\n
