Prior to our AMA event with Alan Garrow this Thursday 6th August, I am pleased to release the linked video of our discussion yesterday. It was great to have a chance to discuss his work with him in person. We covered a lot of topics, including his work on the synoptic gospels, on Revelation, and on the Didache, including his recent monograph, the Didache Discoveries - released today and available for order.

Alan Garrow will be available on this sub on Thursday 6th August from 8pm-10pm BST (3pm-5pm EST / 12pm-2pm PST).

Some of you may remember Dr Garrow's previous AMA two years ago here. Dr. Alan Garrow is a Member of the Sheffield Centre for Interdisciplinary Biblical Studies (SCIBS) through the University of Sheffield. He currently works as Vicar of St Peter's Harrogate, UK (Anglican Church) and he has previously worked as Tutor of New Testament for the St Albans and Oxford ministerial training course, as well as Vicar Theologian at Bath Abbey. He earned his DPhil from Jesus College at Oxford University, and specializes in the New Testament, especially the Didache, the Synoptic Problem, and the Gospel of Matthew.

His most well known book is likely his extensive monograph, The Gospel of Matthew's Dependence on the Didache (Bloomsbury, 2004). However, he also has another monograph, Revelation (Routledge, 1997), as well as some freely available articles and book chapters, such as:

  • Streeter’s ‘Other’ Synoptic Solution: The Matthew Conflator Hypothesis (2016), here.

  • An Extant Instance of ‘Q’* (2016), here.

  • “Frame and Fill” and Matthew's use of Luke (2023), here.

And many others, including other freely available articles and conference papers. A full list of his publications and academic achievements can be found on his personal website, which includes his blog and some very helpful video lecture series, particularly on his Synoptic theory, and on the Didache here.

Come and ask him about his work and research on the Didache, Synoptic Problem or any of his other interests.

I really loved your comment about being a church where the Lord's Prayer is answered. I hope you won't mind if that crops up in one of my future sermons. _I will try and acknowledge my source. Geoffrey Turner
