Just a reminder that the XTalk sponsored Online Seminar with Dom Crossan
is to begin in less than a week's time (Feb. 11th). In the light of
this, and especially for the benefit of anyone who may not have seen the
original announcement, I'm  enclosing it below ((with full apologies for
cross postings and duplications)

A full statement of the Seminar's policies and procedures (how it will
be run, etc.) will be sent to all registered Seminar participants on or
about Feb. 8th.

Come join us if you haven't already.

Yours,

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
XTalk ONLINE SEMINAR WITH JOHN DOMINIC CROSSAN

The moderators and staff advisors of the XTalk Discussion List
(Historical Jesus and Christian Origins  -- http://www.xtalk.org) are
pleased to announce that John Dominic Crossan, author of The Historical
Jesus, Who Killed Jesus?, The Birth of Christianity and founding member
of the Jesus Seminar, has agreed to conduct a three week online Seminar
with XTalk members and other interested parties on the topic of
Materials and Methodology in Historical Jesus Research.

The Seminar, to be carried out under the auspices of XTalk and its
managers,  will begin on  Friday, February 11 and run Mondays through
Fridays until Friday, March 3rd, 2000.

So as to be managed effectively, the Seminar will be conducted on a
subscription only basis, and any posts submitted by Seminar members will
first be moderated before they are passed on to Professor Crossan. These
moderated posts will be answered by Professor Crossan on a daily basis.

The messages from Seminar List members and the replies of Professor
Crossan will be posted regularly to the XTalk List, allowing XTalk
members or List observers who are not subscribed to the Seminar to see
the course of the exchanges. Non XTalk affiliated parties who are
interested only in observing the give and take of the Seminar are urged
to subscribe to the XTalk List or to read the daily postings on the
public XTalk web page (http://www.egroups.com/group/crosstalk2/).

Topics for discussion, and upon which questions may be raised, are those
which are grounded in the issues of  how both the particular materials
used and the methods employed by Historical Jesus scholars bear upon the
conclusions they come to in their reconstructions of the life and
teaching of Jesus of Nazareth.

Since the discussion of these issues as set out in Professor Crossan's
The Birth of Christianity will be the Seminar's initial focal point, a
major prerequisite for anyone wishing to participate in the Seminar is
one's familiarity with the contents and theses of this work.

To apply for membership in the Seminar, send a blank e-mail message to:

PLEASE NOTE that while applications for membership in the Seminar are
being accepted immediately, posts to Professor Crossan are not. Nothing
should be sent in to the Seminar until its opening day, Friday, February
11, 2000.

Questions or comments about the Seminar may be sent to the following
e-mail address:  hjmaterialsmethodolgy-owner at eGroups.com


Yours sincerely (and on behalf of the entire XTalk administrative
staff),

Jeffrey Gibson
