Sometimes the best thing about SBL meetings and the like is what one learns about things to come. For instance, this year at the Regional meeting we were informed that John Barton is editing a three volume edition of Barr’s writings which will be published (I have since discovered) by Oxford University Press.
This project isn’t near completion or anything like that, but it is worth noting so that it’s ‘on the radar screen’ of those who in the future may be interested in it. Which, I imagine, will be everyone. So- here’s the summary: John Barton will edit 3 volumes of James Barr’s works and publish them with Oxford University Press.

It’s difficult (no: “impossible”) to name a greater biblical scholar since Erasmus than James Barr.
