Israel, Church, and the Gentiles in the Gospel of Matthew addresses
one of the central theological problems of Matthew's Gospel: what
are the relationships between Israel and the Church and between the
mission to Israel and the mission to the Gentiles? To answer these
questions, Matthias Konradt traces the surprising transition from
the Israel-centered words and deeds of Jesus (and his disciples)
before Easter to the universal mission of Jesus' earliest followers
after his resurrection. Through careful historical and narrative
analysis, Konradt rejects the interpretation of the Gospel of
Matthew that the Church replaced Israel in God's purposes--that is,
the interpretation that because Israel rejected Jesus as Israel's
Messiah, the Church replaced Israel in the role of God's chosen
people. Konradt instead discovers in Matthew that the Israel- and
universally-centered dimensions of God's saving purposes are far
more positively connected. Matthew develops a narrative that
features Jesus' identity as both the messianic Son of David and the
universal Son of God. What developed into a mainly Gentile Church
should never think of itself as the "new" or "true" Israel; rather,
according to Matthew's Gospel, the Church represents an extension
of the promises first made to Israel and now inclusive of the
Gentiles.
