Our first poster session is small but notable. Susan G. Carter will present an electronic poster "Spirited Images: Rock Carvings as Spiritual Expression in Ancient Scandinavia." Ardy Bass is presenting a poster "Compositional Strategies in the Coptic Gospel of Mary." Both can be found in the Book Exhibit Room. Be sure to browse through and have a look.
See you all very soon! If you have any questions or need any assistance, please let Ardy know.
