Well, on the positive side, looks like some interesting stuff is going to come from Tabor and MacDonald.

So where are they?

According to the press release 'Papers delivered at the conference will be published under the title "Sources of the Jesus Tradition: An Inquiry," by Prometheus Books in 2009. '

Well, some papers anyway.
Maybe the market for HJ books is a bit thin.
Really? Was Hoffman just plain lying when he said those papers would be in other books? I would doubt that, but if you say it is unlikely that those books were in planning....

The trick might be in the tenses: "As for James Tabor and others, their lectures were not available because they formed part of work already committed to publishers." Circumstances might've changed after the deadline.

A work may be contracted for and yet not published. In that case it will be owned by the publisher, unavailable to be published by anyone else and still not published if the market is not there.
