Series: The Library of New Testament Studies

This volume examines a multitude of characters in Matthew's gospel and provides an in-depth look at the different approaches currently employed by scholars working with literary and reader-oriented methods.

Beginning with an introduction on 'the properties of character' and the several aspects involved in the creation of person, the contributors provide a close reading of numerous characters and character types in the Gospel of Matthew. Including Mary, King Herod, John the Baptist, Jesus the Preacher, Jesus the Teacher, God the Father, the Roman Centurion, Peter, Women, Gentiles, Scribes and Pharisees, and Romans. Such close studies aid the understanding of different issues in Matthean characterization, while also charting the development of hermeneutical vistas that have developed in contemporary scholarship, resulting in a collection of

exegetical character studies that are self-consciously working from a literary, narrative-critical,

reader-oriented, or related methodology.

Reviews for Character Studies in the Gospel of Matthew

Such a volume of essays provides a useful resource for those studying specific characters within the gospel of Matthew. * Evangelical Quarterly * The contribution of Matthew’s depiction of Mary invites readers to see her through the lens of the Protoevangelium of James. These studies, along with others on an assortment of traditionally challenging topics and a few previously under-explored, render this new collection of essays a valuable contribution to Matthean scholarship. * Religious Studies Review *
