Recent decades have seen significant shifts in biblical scholarship
opening up a range of ways of engaging the biblical narrative -
both methodologically (the tools and techniques for engaging the
text) and hermeneutically (the perspectives that inform an
interpreter's approach to the text and to the interpretative task).
It is these shifts that give shape to this introduction and study
guide, so that students encounter not only the text of Matthew
itself but also its rich lode of recent interpretation. Among
aspects of 1st-century life brought to the fore by current
social-scientific methodology are kinship, the honor and shame
culture, and masculinity. Gender is another interpretative lens
that has characterized the study of the Gospel of Matthew in recent
decades and the Guide provides pathways through this rich
literature. The guide to Matthew concludes with the most recent
turn of the hermeneutical lens, namely an ecological perspective on
what is perhaps the best-known text in Matthew, the Beatitudes.
This final chapter is an example of how we can enter an old and
familiar text like the Gospel of Matthew from yet another new
critical direction.
