In this book, Catherine Sider Hamilton introduces a new lens
through which to view the death of Jesus in Matthew. Using the
concept of 'innocent blood', she situates the death of Jesus within
a paradigm of purity and pollution, one that was central in the
Hebrew Scriptures and early Judaism from the Second Temple to the
rabbis. Hamilton traces the theme of innocent blood in Matthew's
narrative in relation to two Jewish traditions of interpretation,
one (in Second Temple literature) reflecting on the story of Cain
and Abel; the other (chiefly in rabbinic literature) on the blood
of Zechariah. 'Innocent blood' yields a vision that resists the
dichotomies (intra muros vs extra muros, rejection vs redemption)
that have characterized the debate, a vision in which both judgment
and redemption - an end of exile - may be true. 'Innocent blood'
offers a new approach not only to the meaning of Jesus' death in
Matthew but also to the vexed question of the Gospel's attitude
toward contemporary Judaism.
