Too often the Sermon on the Mount has been interpreted as though it
were a book itself rather than a portion of a book. Dale Allison
insists on the contrary that the full meaning of these chapters in
Matthew's Gospel can be seen only in relation to the broader
literary context of the Gospel as a whole, with its Jewish
Christian orientation. Indeed, the Sermon and the moral imperatives
it contains must be understood: 1) in relation to the example
provided by Jesus' words and deeds elsewhere in the Gospel; 2) with
reference to the community of believers that constitutes the
intended audience of Matthew's Gospel; and 3) in terms of what the
Gospel says elsewhere about the end of the age. The Sermon does not
present a simple set of rules, perhaps only intended for a small
and select group within the Christian community, but seeks to
instill a moral vision and to inspire the moral imagination of all
who would follow Jesus.
