Description

"Until 1965 there was a general agreement among scholars about most of the central issues of Matthew's Gospel. Since then, however, several questions long regarded as settled have been reopened and Matthew is now a new "storm center" of scholarly discussion. Was Matthew a Jew or a Gentile? Were hic Christian readers mainly Jews or Gentiles? How did he arrange and reinterpret his sources? Is he primarily concerned with Christology or with Ecclesiology? The questions are numerous and touch on arguments which are of concern to contemporary theology as much as to first century history and biblical exegesis. These essays deal with most of the central questions of Matthew. Four have been translated from German for the first time and are important for every student of Matthew's Gospel." -- back cover.
