In 1993 I edited an article on the Rich Young Ruler story (Matt 19:16-30; Mark 10:17-31; Luke 18:18-30) that was published as “Jerusalem Synoptic Commentary Preview: The Rich Young Ruler Story,” Jerusalem Perspective 38 & 39 (May-Aug. 1993): 3-31. The article included a conjectured Hebrew reconstruction of the story, along with an English translation and commentary.
Collective research on this Gospel passage began in 1986-1987 when sixteen scholars, members of the Jerusalem School of Synoptic Research and others, spent seventeen seminar sessions discussing this well-known story. Following the seminar’s conclusion, I continued working on the raw material generated by our discussions.
