Dr. McCabe,
Do you know what the topic is that you will be presenting at this years conference?
Bob McCabe says
I am doing a workshop on an “Overview of Ecclesiastes.” This may seem a little tangential to conference’s theme; however, Ecclesiastes has some bearing on learning from the past and planning for the future (such as Ecc 1:9-11, Ecc 11:1-6, Ecc 12:1-7).

Nice save, Dr. McCabe.
Of course, the upside to having a vague title is the ability to get many things under its umbrella. Ecclesiastes was written in the past but your workshop is still (as of this writing) in the future.
Bob McCabe says
How right you are, Brian. Does not a vague title have some connection with Qohelet’s focus on navigating the turbulent waters of a puzzling world?
