Perhaps the most important discovery in the long history of
research on the Gospel of Matthew is that the book represents a
self-contained literary whole as it participates in a vibrant
intertextual network. Scripture illuminates the gospel story at
every step, from the appearance of Jesus to the resistance of the
authorities who oppose him. The famed intertextuality of Matthew,
when considered alongside the social contexts in which the Matthean
community lived, helps us recognize the strategy of this Gospel:
the constant references to the scriptural text should assure those
addressed that Christ-faithful communities are the true guardians
of the theological traditions of Israel. The Gospel according to
Matthew provides a comprehensive interpretation of the Gospel of
Matthew that draws on the best of modern research. Along with an
analysis of the narrative structure, Matthias Konradt discusses the
dense network of references to the Scriptures of Israel as well as
the historical situation in which the Gospel was composed, namely
the conflict between believers in Christ and the predominantly
Pharisaic synagogue. Konradt focuses on theological topics such as
the narrative unfolding of Jesus' messianic identity as Immanuel,
Son of God, and Son of David; Matthew's understanding of
discipleship and the church; the role of Israel and the Gentiles;
and ethical orientation with its relationship to the Torah. From
the richness of Matthew's theological reflection emerges the
challenging question of the Gospel's meaning and relevance for
today. Modern scholarship has correctly emphasized that Matthew is
an inclusive history - it tells the story of the past in a way that
reflects and speaks to the experiences of the community. Taking
into account a broad sweep of scholarly approaches to this text,
Konradt provides a clear outline of the Gospel by tracing the shape
of Matthew's masterful narrative dynamics and the evangelist's
careful unfolding of theological doctrine.
