Matthew in the Messianic Tradition

Among the fundamental tenets of Judaism is the conviction that the Messiah will redeem his people and usher in shalom (peace, well-being). Initiated in the Old Testament, this tradition winds its way through a variety of canonical and non-canonical sources with the Gospel of Matthew serving as a prime example. Morris Inch's new work casts the narrative of Matthew in terms of this vibrant Messianic tradition in an effort to gain fresh insights, explore ambiguous elements, and recognize unique contributions.
