In what sense does Matthew's Gospel reflect the colonial situation
in which the community found itself after the fall of Jerusalem and
the subsequent humiliation of Jews across the Roman Empire? To what
extent was Matthew seeking to oppose Rome's claims to authority and
sovereignty over the whole world, to set up alternative systems of
power and society, to forge new senses of identity? If Matthew's
community felt itself to be living on the margins of society, where
did it see the centre as lying? In Judaism or in Rome? And how did
Matthew's approach to such problems compare with that of Jews who
were not followers of Jesus Christ and with that of others, Jews
and Gentiles, who were followers? This is volume 276 in the Journal
for the Study of the New Testament Supplement series and is also
part of the Early Christianity in Context series.
