Matthew


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Matthew Section is seeking proposals on Matthean topics for the 2015 Annual Meeting. We will host an invited session of papers that will present original contributions to the study of Matthew's Gospel in conversation with key themes and topics raised by Francis Watson's recent groundbreaking book Gospel Writing: A Canonical Perspective (Eerdmans, 2013). The invited papers will develop new lines of research emerging from the issues Watson's arguments raise. While these issues will range widely in light of the wide scope of the book, they will include topics such as the early reception of Matthew, the viability of Q, Matthew within the canonical collection, and the theological significance of Gospel differences. Professor Watson will participate offering a response to the papers. The open session welcomes papers on any Matthean topic. Submissions will be evaluated in a blind review process on the basis of originality and clarity of the thesis proposed as well as the overall contribution it makes to Matthean studies.
