Summary
Reads the Gospel of Matthew for its main content and themes. Deines shows how the gospel reveals Jesus’ universal significance by means of his Jewish particularity, signalled by his reformulation of Davidic messiahship and Abrahamic heritage. In this light, Matthew is interpreted as a gospel for all Christians, a new scripture for a new time and a new people whose life is shaped by Jesus’ life and teaching.
