The book explores the antisemitic potential of Matthew's Gospel in
the Christian New Testament. It begins with a detailed discussion
of the occasion of the text, before discussing key questions
(Matthew's fulfilment theology, and the use of polemic in the
text). Three crucial texts are examined in detail. The book
discusses the reverberations of the "blood cry," arguing the
deicide-focused interpretation of Matthew 27:25 is foundational to
subsequent blood libels, which are also discussed. The final
chapters explore how to preach from Matthew's Gospel with Jewish
people in mind, including offering sample sermons to stimulate the
reader's thinking about how they might teach from a controversial
Matthean text in a way that denies the possibility of perpetuating
Christian antisemitism. It will be of interest to students and
scholars in religion and faith, Christianity, and interfaith
studies.
