The book explores the antisemitic potential of Matthew's Gospel in
the Christian New Testament. It begins with a detailed discussion
of the occasion of the text, before discussing key questions
(Matthew's fulfilment theology, and the use of polemic in the
text). Three crucial texts are examined in detail. The book
discusses the reverberations of the "blood cry," arguing the
deicide-focused interpretation of Matthew 27:25 is foundational to
subsequent blood libels, which are also discussed. The final
chapters explore how to preach from Matthew's Gospel with Jewish
people in mind, including offering sample sermons to stimulate the
reader's thinking about how they might teach from a controversial
Matthean text in a way that denies the possibility of perpetuating
Christian antisemitism. It will be of interest to students and
scholars in religion and faith, Christianity, and interfaith
studies.

often interpreted or speculated on by authors, ministers, or
academics, that very few individuals actually study the book

unveiling.' Allow yourself to be engaged in God's vision of hope
and promise for the faithful, obedient Christian and discover what
truths Revelation will unveil in your own life. Part 1 contains the
first 11 chapters of the book. Part 2 contains the last 11. Paper.
