Wesley Olmstead examines the parables of the Two Sons, the Tenants
and the Wedding Feast against the backdrop of the wider Matthean
narrative. He explores Matthew's characterization of the Jewish
leaders, the people and the nations, and assesses the respective
roles of Israel and the nations in the plot of Matthew's Gospel.
Against the current of contemporary Matthean scholarship, Olmstead
argues both that the judgement this trilogy announces falls upon
Israel (and not only her leaders) and that these parables point to
the future inclusion of the nations in the nation that God had
promised to raise up from Abraham. Bringing both literary-critical
and redaction-critical tools to bear on the texts at hand, Olmstead
not only elucidates the intended meanings of this parabolic trilogy
but also attempts to determine the responses they elicited from
their first readers. Transcending Matthean scholarship, this book
has implications for all Gospel studies.
