Matthew as Story: Second Edition
This work uses literary (narrative) criticism to explore the world of
the evangelist Matthew. The focus is on the plot of the gospel story,
with discussions of the storylines, Jesus' speeches and journey, the
disciples' experiences, and the contemporary community.
The book is a completely revised and enlarged version of the first edition. Two chapters have been added: one discussing the speeches of Jesus and one tracing the storline of the religious leaders. Also, chapter 5 on Jesus' use of "the Son of man" has been substantially rewritten to explain more fully and more clearly the meaning and function of this self-designation. Throughout the book, new topics and insights have been added and developed, and the citations and bibliography have been updated.
