Opis

Matthew's Jesus is typically described as the humble, compassionate messiah. However, Matthew's theologically rich quotation of Isaiah 42.1-4 underscores the manifestation of justice in Jesus' powerful message and deeds, that is thought to accompany the arrival of the kingdom of God. The study concludes that this citation was central to Matthew's highly ethical understanding of Jesus' life and mission.

Recenzje

'Beaton demonstrates that Matthew's use of this (and other) Isaiah text(s) is more complex than previously believed, exhibiting a bi-referential function in the final form of Matthew … Beaton has certainly mad a fine contribution to the field of Judeo-Christian exegetical practices and toward a better understanding of Matthean Christiology.'
