I graduated in Dec. 2007. We actually had a class together if I remember correctly. Acts of the Apostles with Carl Holladay, I think on Tuesday nights, Fall of 2006?

When I was at Candler a few year ago I had a class on second temple Judaism with Walter Wilson. One day, he was talking about ancient Greco-Roman novels.
