<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nI\u2019ve compared the articles and the contributors lists of the first and second editions of the DJG. I\u2019m sorry to report that if you want an article on \u201cAbiathar\u201d the priest you\u2019ll no longer find one in the second edition. Very sad! You\u2019ll have to keep your first edition after all!<\/p>\n
Here are some data:<\/p>\n
27 \u00a0New Articles<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n African American Criticism 22 Omitted Articles Abiathar Observations<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n 1.\u00a0 Several of the omitted topics have been enfolded into other articles presumably. For example the new entry on \u201cJerusalem\u201d covers the topic of the destruction of Jerusalem.<\/p>\n 2. The additions point out areas where the conversation about the Gospels and Jesus have expanded. Noteworthy is the expanded and defined list of \u201ccriticisms\u201d. In the last two decades specialized approaches in minority readings of the gospels such as African American, Latino\/Latina, and Women have emerged.<\/p>\n 3. More theologically oriented topics (e.g. Incarnation, Christology) have been added along with an article on the theological interpretation of the Gospels and Canonical Criticism. These developments are promising. These more theological directions have been a welcomed development in Gospels studies. If I had to study how and why Matthew changed Mark as the primary approach to my Ph.D. work on Matthew, I would have never written it. I can remember consulting Scot McKnight\u2019s dissertation on the Mission Discourse, which by the way, is a very good piece of work. After reading it, I was thankful that I didn\u2019t have to write that kind of dissertation!<\/p>\n 4. One can see development in the areas of research in the historical setting of Jesus with a new article on Cynics and Cynicism.<\/p>\n 5. Omitted are individual articles on the discrete sources of \u201cL\u201d and \u201cM\u201d which may show less interest in debates about sources in the current discussion. This of course would be to the disgust of the few<\/em> gospels scholars that still toil away in such matters. I\u2019m thankful you folks, the two or three of you. Keep doing the work and raise up someone to follow you. I just don\u2019t have the patience for that kind of scholarship.<\/p>\n 6. An updated article on preaching and teaching the gospels is not in the second edition. This is disappointing.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Contributors<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n On my quick count there are 130 authors. 20 of whom contributed to the first\u00a0edition (see bolded names). That leaves over 100 new authors. After a quick scan of the list of names one will readily see that there is much more diversity among the contributors of the second edition, including many more woman in addition to ethnic diversity.<\/p>\n \u00c5dna, Jostein\u00a0Temple Act \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u2019ve compared the articles and the contributors lists of the first and second editions of the DJG.
