Requirements for Participation

Synoptic Gospels


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: Call for papers: Scholarship on the Synoptic Gospels as a coherent unit has often focused on the “Synoptic problem” and given special attention to source and redaction criticism with a view to sorting through the relationship(s) between Matthew, Mark, and Luke. While that discussion is certainly still active, including recent discussion of the relationship of the Synoptic Gospels to John, there are also important historical, rhetorical, and canonical approaches to these three texts. In addition, there is a large body of scholarship carried on by “Matthean,” “Markan,” and “Lukan” specialists. For 2024 we invite papers in two areas: (1) a general call for papers on any aspect of the study of the Synoptic Gospels. While papers that focus entirely on one gospel are welcome, we especially encourage papers that address topics that interact with at least two of the Synoptic Gospels; (2) The Synoptic Gospels and Gospel of Mark program units also invite papers for a joint session on "The Teaching of Jesus in Dutch and Flemish Art." Works that depict either Jesus’ teachings (e.g. parables, Sermon on the Mount/Plain) or Jesus as teacher may be less common than nativity or passion scenes, but they are no less evocative and challenging. This session offers opportunities for the exploration of the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke as represented in, experienced through, and illuminated by the rich tradition of Biblical themes in Dutch and Flemish art.
