I was blessed to get to know A.J. "Chip" Conyers when I was a Ph.D. student at Baylor University. It is exciting to share that David Capes and Daryl Charles have edited a book of essays in honor of Chip: Thriving in Babylon: Essays in Honor of A.J. Conyers (Wipf and Stock, 2010). With a Foreword by Jurgen Moltmann, and essays by Ralph Wood, David Lyle Jeffrey, Millard Erickson, Robert Sloan, Jean Bethke Elshstain, Dan Williams and others, it promises to be a wonderful book. The book will be out in about one month. As a type of book launch, and as a way to get friends of Chip together, there will be a special "dutch treat" dinner on Saturday, November 20th, in Atlanta, Georgia (during the annual Society of Biblical Literature meeting). We are working out the details, but it looks as if it will be on Saturday evening for certain. We will have copies of the book available, and we look forward to "launching" the book. You are invited. Look for more details. If you are interested in attending, please contact me (Brad Green) at 731-431-5928, This email address is being protected from spambots.
