A much-overlooked aspect of the Gospel of Matthew is the theme of
heaven and earth. Rather than being a reverential circumlocution
for God, 'heaven' in Matthew is part of a highly developed
discourse of heaven and earth language. Matthew's idiolectic way of
using heaven language consists of four aspects: 1) a distinction in
meaning between singular and plural forms of "ouranos"; 2) frequent
use of the heaven and earth word pair; 3) regular reference to the
Father in heaven; and 4) the recurrent use of the Matthean
expression, kingdom of heaven. This book examines the historical
precedents for each of these aspects and shows in Matthew how they
serve one overriding theological purpose: to highlight the tension
that currently exists between heaven and earth or God and humanity,
while looking forward to its eschatological resolution.
