Matthew's Jesus is typically described as the humble, compassionate
messiah. This 2002 book argues that this is, however, only half the
story. Matthew's theologically rich quotation of Isaiah 42.1-4,
traditionally considered one of the four servant songs, underscores
that manifest in Jesus' powerful message and deeds, particularly
his healings and inclusion of the marginalized, is the justice that
was thought to accompany the arrival of the kingdom of God. The
study explores modifications to the text-form of the Isaianic
citations, their relationship to the surrounding context, and the
rhetorical force of the final form. It argues that the quotations
are bi-referential, functioning on both a narrative and theological
level, and also explores the issues surrounding the troublesome
'extraneous' content. It arrives at the conclusion that this
citation was central to Matthew's understanding of Jesus' life and
mission. All totalled, this study offers a refreshing exploration
of Matthew's high, ethical Christology.
