To promote a stronger general sense of community, THE SONG OF
MATTHEW retells the gospel story as a poem arranged in blank verse
iambic pentameter, the form used by Milton and Shakespeare. It
retains the meaning of conventional versions of the story of Jesus,
while offering suitable texts for musical settings of the entire
gospel or any passage of particular interest. The text does not
include any of the false and sinful condemnations of Jews which
have historically contributed to the practice of eliminationist
anti-semitism. The crucifixion of Jesus is shown as the assertion
of Roman power, with the collusion of certain religious
authorities, within the context of a cosmopolitan community. In all
other respects it is a text for singing that is "congruent" with
holy scripture, as advised in The Book of Common Prayer.
