Galilee to Jerusalem | Ep 8: The Wisdom of God and the Wise Scribe
Description
In this “Theology Unpacked” episode, Dr John Moffatt SJ highlights how Matthew presents Jesus as a wise teacher and fulfilment of the Torah, possibly reflecting Matthew’s self-understanding through the lens of Wisdom and Scripture.
St Matthew structures Jesus’s teachings into 5 major collections and makes clear, unambiguous connections to the Tanach (Tanakh) to emphasise Jesus’s authority. His distinctive features of narrative style anticipate objections and reinforce Jesus’s role as the true interpreter of the law for a Jewish-Christian audience.
