Praise for Matthew within Judaism
The chapters are unfailingly informative and provocative, and they move the discussion forward in multiple, significant ways.

Using evidence from the comparanda of broadly contemporary Jewish texts, the authors advocate the revolutionary idea that Matthew’s Gospel is best understood as a Jewish rather than a Christian text.

This volume is a challenge to biblical scholars, theologians, students, and preachers to see Matthew’s Gospel for what it is, a Jewish gospel….

It is a volume to spark debate and carry Matthean studies forward; in its contribution to the study ofboth Matthew and Second Temple Judaism it is essential.
