Galilee to Jerusalem | Ep 7: Exploring Matthew
Description
In this “Theology Unpacked” episode, Dr John Moffatt SJ explores Matthew’s possible sources and key concerns.
He highlights Matthew’s effort to bridge tensions between Jewish Christians and non-Christian Jews, especially through infancy narratives rich in prophetic symbolism.
The Gospel of Matthew affirms the importance of Torah, yet its message remains intentionally ambiguous—upholding the law while reinterpreting it through the life and mission of Jesus.
