Jesus as Teacher in the Gospel of Matthew Hardback
Edited by Dr. Charles Nathan Ridlehoover, Dr. Charles Quarles
Part of the The Library of New Testament Studies series
Hardback
Description
Inspired by the work of Richard France and his highly influential Matthew: Evangelist and Teacher, Charles L.
Quarles and Charles Nathan Ridlehoover have gathered together a collection of works that argue for a re-examination of the defining features of Jesus’s role as a teacher in the Gospel of Matthew.
This volume suggests that, while each of the Gospel writers display Jesus leading disciples along, speaking to crowds, and confronting Jewish authorities with effective and timely teachings, Matthew’s portrayal of Jesus as a teacher contains distinctives that deserve further exploration. After examining Jesus’s Old Testament and Second Temple influences and comparing his methods to the contemporary Greco-Roman tradition, the contributors explore Jesus’s position as a teacher of faith and forgiveness and a trainer of scribes, and analyse his relationship with several different apostles.
Including responsive essays, and concluding with a summary of Jesus and Matthew himself as evangelists and teachers, this journey through the aspects of Jesus’s teaching ministry gives readers a more complete look at Jesus’s vocation.
