I should mention that one of the other Templeton winners is Chris Keith at Lincoln Christian University, who won for his monograph The Pericope Adulterae, the Gospel of John and the Literacy of Jesus, published by Brill.
Chris's next major project is, in his own words; 'a monograph on the literacy of the historical Jesus, entitled Jesus’ Literacy: Education and the Teacher from Galilee, under contract with T&T Clark. Whereas my first book left the historical Jesus aside and focused on the social/exegetical/text-critical significance of the claim for Jesus’ literacy in one particular passage (John 8.6, 8), this monograph focuses on the issue of Jesus’ literacy in early Christianity as a whole and assesses the historical accuracy of early Christian claims from the perspective of social/cultural memory theory'
You'll have to wait a bit for this one as Chris isn't due to deliver it for a while. However, he's a rare thing amongst authors in that he seems to be running ahead of his writing schedule. This makes his editor very happy indeed.
At T&T Clark we're very lucky to have a lot of rising stars on our list. Any more out there looking to discuss book proposals should drop me an email.
Dominic,
in response to this post, pls check ur email for a book I proposed a while back?
Hope to hear soon.
