Bart Ehrman, thanks for calling attention to this session.
Note that Susannah Heshel contributed the article "Redemptive
Anti-Seemitism: The De-Judaization of the New Testament in the Third
Reich," pp. 235-264 in LITERARY STUDIES IN LUKE-ACTS: ESSAYS IN HONOR OF
JOSEPH B. TYSON, ed Richar P. thompson and Thomas E. Phillips. Macon:
Mercer University Press, 1998.
It is a fascinating study, especially of the "Institute for the Study and
Eradication of Jewish Influence on German Religious Life," headquartered in
Eisenach, Germany. One of the leading scholars was Walter Grundmann.
Several others also took part. It would be good preparationg for
participating in the session noted above--or, if you cannot get there, a
substitute for a part of it at least.
