Description

The Gospel of Matthew is both deliberately deceptive and emotionally compelling.Karl McDaniel explores ways in which the narrative of the Gospel of Matthew elicits and develops the emotions ofsuspense, surprise, and curiosity within its readers. While Matthew 1:21 invites readers to expect Jewish salvation, progressive failure of the plot's main characters to meet Jesus' salvation requirements creates increasing suspense for the reader. How will Jesus save 'his people'? The commission to the Gentiles at the Gospel's conclusion provokes reader surprise, and the resulting curiosity calls readers back to the narrative's beginning.Upon rereading with a retrospective view, readers discover that the Gentile mission was actually foreshadowed throughout the narrative, even from its beginning, and they are invited to partake in Jesus' final commission. Review Insightfully explores subtleties of Matthew’s narrative too often overlooked and should be required reading for serious students of Matthew. -- Michael Patrick Barber, John Paul the Great Catholic University ― Religious Studies Review About the Author Karl McDaniel is a PhD (New Testament Studies) graduate of McGill University. His research work focuses on irony, rhetoric, and intertexuality, as well as the way in which the use of these evokes emotion in readers.
