[[Attached is the notice for the initial meeting of the
Philadelphia Seminar on Christian Origins for 1990-1991.
The topic lends itself to wide-ranging discussion, and
will profit from the expertise of various persons in
fields other than "biblical studies" and "Christian
origins" as such. An electronic form of R. Kraft's
paper is being prepared for circulation to any
interested parties; the paper will not be read at the
PSCO session, but aspects of it will be discussed.]]
