New Testament Textual Criticism

Call For Papers: The NTTC Section is co-sponsoring two sessions in 2018: (1) A joint session with the Digital Humanities Section entitled, “Medium Matters: The Challenges of Editing the New Testament in the Liminal Space between Digital and Print Cultures.” This session welcomes both invited and proposed papers that examine, by way of specific test-cases, the advantages and disadvantages of paper and digital editions. We are particularly interested to explore issues arising from the ongoing editing of the Editio Critica Maior, other editorial projects related to the versions or manuscripts of the New Testament, and media-specific studies that analyze user experiences of critical editions. (2) An invited joint session with the Gospel of Luke Section that will focus on the impact of text critical issues, particularly the “Western Non-Interpolations,” on the exegesis of Luke. The Section will also sponsor a panel review of Jennifer Knust’s and Tommy Wasserman’s forthcoming book, To Cast the First Stone: The Transmission of a Gospel Story (2018). For our open panels, the Section will particularly welcome papers that address the multiplicity of recent editions of the New Testament text (e.g., the Editio Critica Maior, the Tyndale House edition, the SBL edition, the Nestle-Aland 29th Revised Edition, currently in preparation).
