Agade Mailing List Now Available on SBL Website
Jack M. Sasson, the Mary Jane Werthan Professor of Judaic and Biblical Studies at Vanderbilt University, has been collecting and distributing the Agade Mailing List for almost two decades, dating back to his position at The University of North Carolina, which still hosts the email distribution list. The Agade list forwards news and information of interest to scholars in biblical studies, Near Eastern studies, late antiquity, Judaica, classics, and archaeology, with items, too, in broad intellectual history and even popular culture. It is a valuable source of announcements, and these many guilds are in debt to Professor Sasson.
With many thanks to Jack for his permission, SBL will combine the previous days’ Agade List announcements on a page of Current Postings, as well as collect them all in an Archive. SBL will not supplement, eliminate, or otherwise emend the number or content of the announcements, and presents them in the order of their delivery.
You can find a link to this resource in the News & Calendar box on the SBL home page, or you can access it directly via this link.
