George Howard (Hebraist)
George Howard is an American Hebraist, noted for his theories of Hebrew-language origins to the New Testament - including the possible use of the Tetragrammaton in the New Testament, and possible Hebrew origins of Matthew. He was formerly Associate Professor of Religion and Hebrew at the University of Georgia.[1][2]

- Kaige Readings in Josephus, Textus 8 (1973) p45-54,
- The Gospel of Matthew according to a primitive Hebrew text Macon, GA: Mercer University. 1987
- Hebrew Gospel of Matthew (1995, 1998) argues that one of the rabbinical translations of Matthew found interspersed in the 14th C. Hebrew work The Touchstone of Ibn Shaprut may preserve a lost Hebrew original to the Greek Gospel of Matthew. Though scholars such as William Horbury (1999) generally reject Howard's thesis and consider Ibn Shaprut's text to be a translation of a medieval Latin version into Hebrew.[3][4][5][6]
