No religious text has influenced the world more than has the New
Testament's Sermon on the Mount, and yet this crucial text still
begs to be more clearly understood. Why was it written? What
unifying theme or purpose holds it all together? Should it be
called a sermon? Or is it some other kind of composition? How would
its earliest listeners have heard its encoded allusions and
systematic program? This book offers new insights into the Sermon
on the Mount by seeing it in the shadow of the all-pervasive Temple
in Jerusalem, which dominated the religious landscape of the world
of Jesus and his earliest disciples. Analyzing Matthew 5-7 in light
of biblical and Jewish backgrounds, ritual studies, and oral
performances in early Christian worship, this reading coherently
integrates every line in the Sermon. It positions the Sermon as the
premier Christian mystery.
