Matthew


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Matthew Section will hold two sessions in 2008. One of these will be an open session for proposals on any Matthean topic. The other will be an invited session on "Reading the Gospel of Matthew within the Global Context." This session will consider the implications of such factors as ethnicity, social or economic status, geographical setting, or political context for reading the Gospel of Matthew. Papers may also address the task of reading the Gospel of Matthew in the face of prominent global issues such as economics, the environment, or human rights. While most papers for this session will be invited, the Matthew Section will also consider any proposals submitted on this theme.
