07 - The Gospel of Matthew

Update: 2009-10-27

Description

The Gospel of Matthew contains some of the most famous passages that both Christians and non-Christians are familiar with. However, Matthew also presents itself paradoxically as preaching a Torah observant Christianity and a Christian mission that seeks to reach Gentiles. The figure of Jesus in Matthew is a teacher, the founder of the church, and the model for the apostles and Matthew's own community. Matthew seems to be writing for a church community that needs encouragement to have faith in a time of trouble.
