ln this collection of essays, leading New Testament scholars reassess the reciprocal relationship between Matthew and Second Temple Judaism. While some contributions explore the characterization of Jesus, his allies and opponents, and Jews and gentiles, others examine the portrayal of the temple and its destruction, law, and ritual. Each study sheds light on Matthew’s place within Judaism, and the volume opens up fresh directions for New Testament studies.
