Fellner Award Judges Named

In 1986, the Leopold and Clara M. Fellner Charitable Foundation established awards of $500 each for the best articles in BR and in Biblical Archeology Review (BAR). Four distinguished judges have been selected to choose the recipients of the 1987 Fellner Awards. The judges for BR will be Frank Moore Cross, Hancock Professor of Hebrew and Other Oriental Languages at Harvard University, and Philip King, Professor of Biblical Studies at Boston College.

King is also a member of the Editorial Advisory Board of BR and has written several book reviews for BAR.

The judges for BAR will be Oded Borowski, Director of the Semitic Languages Division of the Department of Modern Languages at Emory University, and Lawrence Stager, Director of the Harvard Semitic Museum. Borowski serves on the editorial board of BAR in addition to being a frequent contributor. Stager has also contributed to BAR.
