The Matthean Beatitudes in Their Jewish Origins: A Literary and
Speech Act Analysis examines how Matthew used Jewish concepts as
paradigmatic utterances for the Matthean community. In fact, the
Gospel of Matthew was the most Jewish of the Synoptic Gospels, and
Matthew's paradigm was the needed transition for understanding the
role of the new community post-70 AD. The importance and role of
Jewish concepts is evident in Matthew's work. More specifically,
the literary nature of the Beatitudes demonstrates a composition
that evolved from oral origins. Speech act theory is utilized to
point out the oral features of the text as well as to reveal what
Jesus did in his sayings. Moreover, a speech act model is presented
and applied to the Beatitudes' pericope. Their significance lies in
the authoritative utterances of Jesus. By employing speech act
theory on the Beatitudes, the sayings of Jesus are investigated to
illustrate the force of his eloquence on the Christian community.
