The Zechariah Tradition and the Gospel of Matthew is a
comprehensive study of the ways Matthew utilizes Zechariah texts
and traditions. Against the background of materials from Qumran,
and apocryphal and deuterocanonical writings Matthew's explicit
citations of Zechariah are examined; the influence of Zechariah
elsewhere in the First Gospel is identified; and the extent to
which Matthew alludes to characteristic Zechariah themes, alone or
in combination with other prophetic traditions, is explored.
Zechariah traditions appear in Matthew's distinctive materials, as
well as in texts Matthew has transmitted, or altered, from Mark and
Q. The impact of Zech 9-14 is not limited to the Passion Narrative
but extends through Matthew's Infancy and Galilean healing
narratives, as well; important concepts from Zech 1-8 are also
discerned in the Infancy and Passion Narratives. Moss works through
the canonical order of Matthew; this enables readers to appreciate
the cumulative effect of Zechariah's influence at each stage of the
Gospel story. Two appendices, one arranged according to Zechariah
and the other to Matthew, list possible references to Zechariah in
Matthew. This monograph is useful for Matthean studies and it is an
insightful investigation of how one set of Old Testamental
traditions are appropriated in one canonical Gospel and in the New
Testament.
