NT314 Book Study: The Gospel of Matthew in Its Jewish Context (Biblia.com)

NT314 Book Study: The Gospel of Matthew in Its Jewish Context is unavailable, but you can change that!

This course from distinguished New Testament professor Dr. Craig Evans discusses the original context in which Matthew wrote his Gospel, as well as his purpose for writing. Matthew wrote for those still connected to the synagogue, answering questions based upon their Jewish context. Dr. Evans takes you from the ancient context of Matthew’s Gospel to applications for today.

“For Israel was an infant, and I loved him, and out of Egypt I recalled his children.” Right away that difference should alert us to something very interesting about the context. And obviously Matthew did not follow the Septuagint as he often does in his quotations of Scripture. This time he has followed the Hebrew, and he has done so because the Hebrew version fits more closely the point that Matthew wants to make.
