In this 2006 text, Daniel M. Gurtner examines the meaning of the
rending of the veil at the death of Jesus in Matthew 27:51a by
considering the functions of the veil in the Old Testament and its
symbolism in Second Temple and Rabbinic Judaism. Gurtner
incorporates these elements into a compositional exegesis of the
rending text in Matthew. He concludes that the rending of the veil
is an apocalyptic assertion like the opening of heaven revealing,
in part, end-time images drawn from Ezekiel 37. Moreover, when the
veil is torn Matthew depicts the cessation of its function,
articulating the atoning role of Christ's death which gives access
to God not simply in the sense of entering the Holy of Holies (as
in Hebrews), but in trademark Matthean Emmanuel Christology: 'God
with us'. This underscores the significance of Jesus' atoning death
in the first gospel.
