Studien zum Matthäusevangelium

This collection contains the essays written between 2003 and 2015 by Matthias Konradt on questions of the historical context of Matthew's gospel and Matthean theology. The contributions are divided into three sections. The first of these, »Matthew in Context«, discusses the relationship between Matthew's congregation(s) and Judaism as well as the historical-theological positioning of his gospel within emerging Christianity. The essays in the second part focus on Christology and the role of Israel in Matthew's theology while those in the third part - besides a study on Matthew's understanding of faith - feature works on fundamental aspects of Matthew's ethics. Along with previously published essays, which have been reviewed, brought up-to-date and partly extensively revised, this volume also presents studies appearing for the first time.
