By arguing that Matthew's Gospel can be read as a "homecoming
story" according to the ancient formula of the "Banished and
Returning Prince," Robert Beck offers a fresh and provocative
reinterpretation of the Gospel. He exploits this understanding of
the narrative to disclose new elements within the plot, to identify
a fresh resolution to conflict development within the tale, and to
arrive at an unprecedented explanation of the place of violence and
nonviolence within Matthew's text. The traditional roles of
Usurper, Impostor, and Mentor are examined for insight into what
Matthew's narrative achieves as well as, perhaps more importantly,
what it excludes in the way of cultural expectations of violent
reprisal.
