Theology Of Matthews Gospel
$69.99A Theology of Matthew’s Gospel develops the perspective that Matthew wrote his Gospel to identify, defend, and proclaim Jesus Immanuel, “God with us,” as the Davidic Messiah who fulfilled the OT expectations of humanity’s redemption. Matthew’s Gospel establishes Jesus’s identity as the heir to the promises of Israel’s throne through king David, and heir to the promises of blessing to all the nations through the patriarch Abraham (1:1). So, this first Gospel offers evangelistic hope in Jesus’s message of the gospel to Jews, contending that they should turn to Jesus as their long-awaited Messiah (Matt 11:2-6). But, strikingly, Matthew’s Gospel also offers evangelistic hope to Gentiles, emphasizing that salvation through Jesus Messiah is available to all the nations (28:19).
The book emphasizes the three horizons that comprise Matthew’s gospel: history, theology, and literature. The first horizon focuses on Jesus’s historical ministry. Here Matthew provides for us a record of God’s activities in history in the arrival of Jesus Messiah and the kingdom of heaven. The second horizon develops Matthew’s theological perspective for his audience(s). Here we attempt to understand and isolate Matthew’s unique theological perspective of God’s activities in Jesus Messiah. This is a central focus, emphasizing Matthew’s theological perspective of the Old Testament, Christology, the kingdom of heaven, discipleship, the Church/church, Israel (past, present, and future), the death and resurrection of Jesus, mission/commission, and eschatology/eternity. The third horizon emphasizes today’s reader(s) engaging with Matthew’s Gospel as literature. Here we attempt to capture the significance of the perspective of today’s reader’s understanding of Jesus Messiah’s activities in history and Matthew’s theological perspective for the contemporary church.
In this book we view Matthew’s perspective of God’s activities in Jesus’s unfolding earthly ministry. The alternating sections of narrative and discourse provide for his readers Jesus’s example to follow and Jesus’s words to obey. Therefore, Matthew’s Gospel is at least in part a manual on discipleship to Jesus Messiah in the kingdom of heaven. In the six Narratives, Matthew reveals Jesus’s true identity in his deeds, and introduces themes that will lead to instructions to Jesus’s disciples in the Discourses. The six Narratives provide the example that Jesus’s disciples are commanded to obey. In the five Discourses, Matthew rec

Jesus And The Future
$19.99Jesus was a prophet who often spoke about future events. Some readers apply all of Jesus’s teaching about the future to the distant future: his return, the future resurrection, and final judgment. Other readers contend that virtually everything Jesus taught about the future was fulfilled in the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. The authors conclude that the truth lies somewhere in the middle. As a prophet, Jesus spoke both about the near future events of AD 70 and the distant future events surrounding his second coming. The challenge lies in determining when he was speaking about near instead of distant future events.
In Jesus and the Future, the authors examine everything Jesus said about future events as recorded in the four canonical Gospels. This includes the famous Olivet Discourse along with many other parables and sayings. The authors situate Jesus’s teaching in its original literary and 1st century Jewish and Greco-Roman context.
Jesus and the Future is designed to discuss Jesus’ teaching about the end times in a way that is accessible, biblical-theological, exegetical, and devotional and spiritually-nurturing. Written with a scholar’s mind but a pastor’s heart, the book is geared to a popular audience interested in making sense of end-time phenomena and conflicting teachings on the end times.
