NEW TESTAMENT
The New Testament Study Group of Tyndale Fellowship exists to promote evangelical scholarship that takes seriously the authority of the Bible and rigorous academic study by engaging with issues in our wider world.
​
We meet in-person at the annual Tyndale Fellowship conference, along with the Fellowship's other study groups.

Call for Papers 2026
Conference Theme
In 2026, we are focussing on the ‘Paul within Judaism’ movement, and we will use our time to engage with this movement together. To help us do so, Dr Matt Novenson (Princeton Theological Seminary) will give the Tyndale Fellowship lecture, and we also have invited papers from Prof John Barclay (Emeritus Professor at Durham University) and Dr Ben Blackwell, (Principal of Westminster Theological Centre) by way of debate and response. One of the sessions will again be given over to a book review panel, which this year will engage Dr Neil Martin’s Galatians Reconsidered (Apollos/IVP).
Call for Papers
We invite proposals of up to 200 words for papers on topics relating to the theme, which could include (but are not limited to) engagement with either the issues or the argument of the ‘Paul within Judaism’ movement, questions of biblical theology, and the exegesis and interpretation of key texts in Paul that have a bearing on the issue. We also welcome proposals on the wider question of the New Testament and Judaism, including the gospels and other (non-Pauline) letters.
Submission Guidelines
Please submit your paper title, a 200-word abstract, and a brief biography (including your current institutional affiliation and relevant credentials) to Paul Wilson at paul.wilson@ed.ac.uk. Deadline for submissions is Friday 5 December 2025.
Notifications regarding the acceptance of proposals will be sent by Monday 15 December 2025.

Presentation Format
We prefer in-person participation to support the kind of direct and collegial engagement that defines this conference. However, if travel or visa difficulties arise, exceptions for remote presentations may be considered on a case-by-case basis. We encourage all presenters to plan for in-person participation if possible.
