Is this the same Gundry that got expelled from the Evangelical Theological Society back in the early 80s for his redaction commentary on Matthew?

Are you referring to this event:
This sparked a major controversy in the Evangelical Theological Society. Gundry contended his work did not question the inerrancy of Matthew. Rather he argued that the Bible was never meant to be a work of history and that the religious content contains no errors. Gundry's view was supported by a significant portion of the ETS. The Society's executive looked into the matter and at first cleared Gundry. However a campaign against Gundry was launched, spearheaded by Norman Geisler. This campaign succeeded and in December 1983 Gundry was expelled from the ETS.

Sounds like politics gone bad to me.
