Tyndale University congratulates Dr. Benjamin Reynolds, Professor of New Testament, on his election to membership in the prestigious Studiorum Novi Testamenti Societas (SNTS, or the Society for New Testament Studies).
SNTS is the premier international society of New Testament scholars that was founded in 1939 for the furtherance of New Testament Studies. The Society’s journal New Testament Studies and SNTS Monograph Series are published by Cambridge University Press and delve into a wide range of issues pertaining to the origins, history, context and theology of the New Testament and early Christianity.
“It is an honour to have been nominated and now to be an elected a member of this prestigious New Testament society,” says Dr. Reynolds. “Many of the New Testament scholars whom I respect are members of the SNTS, and I am humbled to be a fellow member with them.
SNTS has less than one thousand members worldwide from nearly 40 countries. Membership into the Society requires nomination by two current SNTS members from different institutions, and the nominee must “be making a creative and constructive contribution to New Testament studies.” Typically, this means that the nominee has published one major scholarly book and has shown “a diversity of interests in the field” of New Testament studies, through either scholarly articles or a second scholarly book.
“Membership in the SNTS is an international recognition of my scholarly work, which is both humbling and encouraging. I look forward to taking part in the working groups of SNTS, and I plan to continue exploring, studying and writing about the Gospel of John and early Judaism.”
