"This book invites readers to enter the narrative world and the
historical context of Matthew s gospel to encounter Jesus Christ in
his mighty works and words. Focusing on particular social and
theological issues, such as eschatology and Jewish-Christian
conflict, it shows how Matthew used Jesus stories and teachings to
instruct and sustain his racially-mixed church to meet the severe
challenges posed by Pharisaic opposition, Roman suspicion and
intramural tension. It is worth noting that the church today faces
similar challenges in its need to articulate its faith and
identity, to bear strong witness and unity, and to carry out its
missions to baptize and teach the world. Sponsored by the Anglican
Association of Biblical Scholars, the Conversations with Scripture
series was created just for Episcopalians. Each book is designed
for people in the pews eager to learn more about Scripture and how
it applies to their lives today." "
