This book investigates the Matthean use of bread and the breaking
of bread in light of cognitive conceptual metaphor, which are not
only intertwined within Matthew's narrative plots but also function
to represent Matthew's communal identity and ideological vision.
The metaphor of bread and its cognitive concept implicitly connect
to Israel's indigenous sense of identity and religious imagination,
while integrating the socio-religious context and the identity of
Matthean community through the metaphoric action: breaking of
bread. While using this metaphor as a narrative strategy, Matthew
not only keeps the Jewish indigenous socio-religious heritage but
also breaks down multiple boundaries of religion, ethnicity,
gender, class, and the false prejudice in order to establish an
alternative identity and ideological vision. From this perspective,
this book presents how the Matthean bread functions to reveal the
identity of Matthew's community in-between formative Judaism and
the Roman Empire. In particular, the book investigates the metaphor
of bread as a source of Matthew's rhetorical claim that represents
its ideological vision for an alternative community beyond the
socio-religious boundaries. The book also reviews Matthean contexts
by postcolonial theories - hybridity and third space - subverting
and deconstructing the hegemony of the dominant groups of formative
Judaism and the imperial ideology of Rome.
