OK. My turn to use caps. NO THEY AREN'T!. (:))That is to say, membership
is not automatic for anyone who is involved in biblical studies. There
is a yearly membership fee based on whether or not one is a student, and
if a "professional", on what one's income is.
Again, every pertinent bit about SBL can be found at the Society's
website.
And since this is off-topic, perhaps any further discussion of what the
SBL is and isn't should be conducted privately.
Yours,
Jeffrey
