The Gospel of Matthew and Its Readers is a biblical commentary with a difference. Howard Clarke first establishes contemporary scholarship's mainstream view of Matthew's Gospel, and then presents a sampling of the ways this text has been read, understood, and applied through two millennia. By referring forward to Matthew's readers (rather than back to the text's composers), the book exploits the tensions between what contemporary scholars understand to be the intent of the author of Matthew and the quite different, indeed often eccentric and bizarre ways this text has been understood, assimilated, and applied over the years. The commentary is a testament to the ambiguities and elasticity of the text and a cogent reminder that interpretations are not fixed, nor texts immutably relevant. And unlike other commentaries, this one gives space to those who have questioned, rejected, or even ridiculed Matthew's messages, since Bible-bashing, like Bible-thumping, is a historically significant part of the experience of reading the Bible.

Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Einband leicht berieben, Kopfschnitt leicht angegraut, sonst guter Zustand / binding slightly rubbed, top edge slightly grayed, otherwise good condition. - The Gospel of Matthew and Its Readers concerns the first gospel and its influence on Western culture. A biblical commentary with a difference, it summarizes the current mainstream view of Matthew's gospel, and then presents a generous sampling of the ways in which the text has actually been read, understood, and applied through two millennia. By referring forward to Matthews readers (rather than hack to the text's composers), the book exploits the tensions between what contemporary scholars understand to be the intent of the author of Matthew and the quite different, indeed often eccentric and bizarre ways this text has been understood, assimilated, and applied over the years. And unlike other commentaries, this one gives space to those who have questioned, rejected, or even ridiculed Matthew's messages, since Bible-bashing, like Bible-thumping, is a historically significant part of the experience of reading the Bible.This book reminds us that interpretations are not fixed, nor texts immutably relevant, and that many of our own interpretations may seem odd or irrelevant to future readers of this powerful gospel. / Contents Preface Introduction: Scripture, Gospels, Matthew 1.
