this symposium seems to be exciting. I am glad to read the name of prof. van der Watt among the participants.
I heard his talk on ethics in the Gospel of John; he has an interesting way of presenting things, so I am sure that this lecture will also be quite interesting as the title suggests.

I hope these papers are published. What a line up!
