Really! The Codex Judas Papers has just arrived, and so I am buried in proofs and indexing...but the book (over 600 pages) will be out by year's end in Brill's Nag Hammadi and Manichaean Studies series.
SCHOLAR SPOTLIGHT Renowned Gnostic scholar April DeConick
April D. DeConick is the Isla Carroll and Percy E. Turner Professor of Biblical Studies at Rice University.

She is currently completing her next popular book titled Sex and the Serpent: Why the Sexual Conflicts of the Early Church Still Matter, and is starting another on Gnostic spirituality titled The Gnostics and Their Gospels: An Introduction to Gnostic Spirituality in Antiquity. Professor DeConick sits on the editorial board of the Nag Hammadi and Manichean Studies series published by E.J. Brill. She is an active member of the Society of Biblical Literature where she serves as co-chair of the New Testament Mysticism Project. She also organized and chaired for many years the Early Jewish and Christian Mysticism Group. She is affiliated with the North American Patristics Society and the International Association for Coptic Studies.
