Frauke Uhlenbruch organized and edited an issue of the Journal of Hebrew Scriptures<\/a>\u00a0<\/i>which explores intersections between science fiction and the Hebrew Bible. I was delighted and honored to have been asked to write a final response article for the volume.<\/p>\n

The issue has now appeared online and so you can read it here: http:\/\/jhsonline.org\/Articles\/article_221.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n

It was great to see Frauke at AAR\/SBL, and to meet other contributors to the issue face to face for the first time. Now I am sorry we didn\u2019t snap a selfie to go with this blog post. Hopefully this one with Gail Dawson will serve as an appropriate substitute\u2026<\/p>\n
