Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

-This comprehensive treatment of the relationship between Israel and the church in the Gospel of Matthew brings the reader unfailingly to the center of Matthew's theology. Menninger shows how the Gospel turns on this challenging question and how it affects in particular Matthew's viewpoint on such key issues as christology and the law. The author is well-acquainted with the considerable literature on the subject and his judgments throughout are cautious and balanced. No one can read this insightful book without coming to a better understanding and appreciation of the Gospel of Matthew.- (Donald A. Hagner, Fuller Theological Seminary)

Reseña del editor:

This timely book contributes to the understanding of a central problem in the Gospel of Matthew, namely the relation between Israel and the Church. It breaks new ground by clearly demonstrating that the Church is the long-awaited remnant of God. This study analyzes Matthew's understanding of his Jewish heritage and answers why he believes the Church replaces Israel as the people of God. It utilizes the extensive amount of literature pertinent to the first Gospel, providing sharper focus to the issues that confronted the early church.
