Matthew: Paideia Commentaries on the New Testament [PCNT]

In this fresh commentary, the fourth of eighteen volumes in the Paideia series, a leading New Testament scholar examines cultural context and theological meaning in Matthew. Paideia commentaries explore how New Testament texts form Christian readers by

• Attending to the ancient narrative and rhetorical strategies the text employs

• Showing how the text shapes theological convictions and moral habits

• Commenting on the final, canonical form of each New Testament book

• Focusing on the cultural, literary, and theological settings of the text

• Making judicious use of maps, photos, and sidebars in a reader-friendly format
