I don't know how it could happen, but my previous search in the SBL Annual Meeting program did not reveal that there is going to be another quite interesting session in which the works of Philo will play a major role. Just look at this:
S 20-62 Hellenistic Judaism
11/20/2005 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM
Room: Independence I - Marriott
Theme: Boundaries and Limits in Diaspora Judaism
Tessa Rajak, University of Reading, Presiding
Lester L. Grabbe, University of Hull
Edgy under Greek Rule? The Question of Jews on the Margins in the Ptolemaic Period (20 min)
Erich S. Gruen, University of California, Berkeley
The Jews of Rome: Alienation, Toleration, or Integration? Or None of the Above? (20 min)
Discussion (20 min)
Break (5 min)
Jed Wyrick, California State University, Chico
Animal Allegories and Animal Worship in the Literature of Alexandrian Judaism (20 min)

Philo on Atheism, Judaism, and Egyptian Identity (20 min)
Abraham Terian, St. Nersess Armenian Seminary
Philo's Definitions of Israel in Relation to Historical Realities in the Greco-Roman World (20 min)

Everyone is invited to remain after the session for a brief discussion of possible topics for future annual meetings and other business related to the Hellenistic Judaism Section.
