Wages of Cross-Bearing and Debt of Sin: The Economy of Heaven in Matthew S Gospel

by Nathan Eubank

This study analyzes Matthew s economic language against the backdrop of other early Jewish and Christian literature and examines its import for the narrative as a whole. Careful attention to this neglected aspect of Matthew s theology demonstrates that some of the Gospel s central claims about atonement, Jesus death and resurrection, and divine recompense emerge from this conceptual matrix."

I enjoyed the book, his premise is interesting and evidence for his ideas is substantial. The book really is for biblical scholars and not so much for general consumption. Concluding chapter is really good.
