Salvation in Continuity

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Mothy Varkey's investigation of how Jesus brings salvation in the Gospel of Matthew is characterized by its consistent, detailed analysis of the text, but also by its persistent focus on the larger conceptual world. His argument that 'Matthew holds both the Jewish and the early Christian soteriological traditions together, without apparently identifying any incongruity among them or considering them as options or alternatives' is an important contribution to the scholarly conversation about the structures and strategies of this gospel and to discussions about New Testament theology.”
