Divine Presence and God's People in the First Gospel
Herausgeber: Court, John

Produktbeschreibung

That Matthew uniquely highlights Jesus as 'Emmanuel' is common knowledge among Gospel commentators. Almost wholly overlooked, however, are the deeper implications of this 'presence motif' for the enterprise of Matthean christology, as well as its centripetal force on readers of the First Gospel. Matthew's Emmanuel employs the lenses of both narrative and historical criticism to produce the first serious monograph in English on the subject of divine presence in Matthew. After giving primacy to a whole-story reading of Matthew's presence motif, David Kupp follows the Emmanuel Messiah to his roots in the familiar social and literary contexts of Sinai, Jerusalem and the Jewish scriptures. Matthew's development of those sources evolves Jesus' saving presence into a defining christological role in the First Gospel. Matthew is a story that compels, a text with a history and a christological treatise of the Emmanuel Messiah.
