Introduction to New Testament (RLST 152)
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 that of a teacher, the founder of the Church, and the model for the apostles and Matthews own community. Matthew seems to be writing for a church community that needs encouragement to have faith in a time of trouble.
