Synoptic Gospels


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: Scholarship on the Synoptic Gospels as a coherent unit has often focussed 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, 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. This has led us to the question: “Where are Synoptic Gospel studies as ‘synoptic’ heading?” For 2023 we invite papers for open sessions in three categories: i) papers that address the question of the state and future of Synoptic Gospel studies as “synoptic”; ii) papers that address topics that interact with at least two of the Synoptic Gospels; and iii) papers focussed specifically on any aspect of one of the Synoptic Gospels.
