York Christian Apocrypha Symposium Series: Secret Mark
Phil Harland (also of York University and an avid blogger himself) and I have been working over the past several months to plan a one-day conference on the Secret Gospel of Mark. This is intended in the first of a series of symposia on various apocryphal texts, though highlighting the work of North American scholars. All of the funding is in place so we can now make a formal announcement of the event. For information, see the page on my main site (HERE). Registration is very inexpensive (and free if you're a student) and the evening public debate is also free-of-charge. We hope to see a lot of people come out for the event so that we can continue the series for future years.
Will you be able to record these sessions and post them on your blog for those overseas who cannot attend the conference? This sounds like an excellent line-up of scholars and would love to hear how the debate unfolds.
We will look at the possibility of making recordings available. Certainly there will be a published volume that will include the papers as well as summaries/transcriptions of the discussions.
