All of these volumes are worth what Sheffield is charging for them. (This
is the unbiased :-> opinion of someone who has written chapters for two out
of the three books.) I did not contribute to the first one in Rod's list,

of selected papers presented to the Greek Language and Linguistics Section
at national meetings of the Society of Biblical Literature.
