Divine Wrath and Salvation in Matthew

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In this provocative but carefully-researched book, Anders Runesson invites the reader to enter into the narrative world of Matthew's Gospel and to engage with the Evangelist's very Jewish understanding of God's salvation and judgment. A critical aspect of his argument is that Matthew distinguishes between the judgment of the Jews and the judgment of the Gentiles, and that each group is judged according to different criteria. Runesson has produced a study of Matthew's scheme of divine judgment that is original and challenging, and replete with fresh insights. It will take its rightful place in the corpus of important modern studies that deal with the Gospel's distinctive vision of the end-times.”

Salvation in Continuity

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This major and important study of soteriology in the Gospel of Matthew takes Matthean studies into new areas. Varkey offers an original view of Matthew’s soteriology which is fully consistent the current trend in Matthean scholarship to view Matthew as a Jewish as a well as a Christian text. The evangelist’s scheme of salvation involves much more than the death of Jesus on the cross. It highlights the historical continuity between the appearance of Jesus the Messiah and God’s past dealings with the people of Israel, and it incorporates other themes such as the Jewish Scriptures, the Torah and the Temple. Varkey’s original and bold study sheds much needed light on the complex question of Matthew’s soteriology within both his Jewish and Christian milieu, and poses new questions for future research to ponder.”

The Gospel of Matthew, vol 1

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Walter T. Wilson’s two-volume commentary on Matthew’s Gospel will be warmly welcomed by those who engage critically with this text. In a rare combination of virtues, it combines solid exegesis and up-to-date scholarship with readability and clarity. Wilson’s discussion of even complex issues is accessible, and his conclusions are invariably balanced and well-evidenced. Matthean scholarship has a long tradition of excellent multi-volume commentaries, and Wilson’s contribution marks a significant twenty-first century addition to this distinguished tradition. I highly recommend it as an important resource for both scholars and students.”
