The Future King is Here: The Theology of Matthew: Kingdom Theology Series

by Derek Morphew

This is a study of the Gospel of Matthew viewed through the lens of kingdom theology. It examines how Matthew has reflected the mission and message of Jesus on the coming of the Messianic era, or the kingdom of heaven. It first discovers the careful literary structure of Matthew and then explores how Jesus is portrayed, how he announced, demonstrated and taught on the kingdom and then acted as God's Suffering Servant and Son of Man through his death and resurrection. It also covers Matthew's approach to community and discipleship.

This is the text for the Vineyard Institute course, "Matthew and Mark" - highly recommended! The book makes more sense when done in conjunction with the video course.

Very good outline and overall review of the book of Matthew. Derek reviews the book from the Narrative, Theological and Source viewpoints; his book is more scholarly in approach than devotional or inspirational. Great background information on the book of Matthew and non-dogmatic.

This was a good book and a fantastic look at the book of Matthew. Derek attacks the book from a enacted, inaugurated eschatological perspective, it is really refreshing.
