Theology

“In 1988 Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger famously argued that it would take at least the work of an entire generation to overcome the split between ecclesial-theological and historical exegeses of the Bible. A generation later, we must admit that it will take longer than that! This new edition of Dauphinais and Levering's theological introduction to the Bible is an important contribution to this task. While attending to the work of historical scholars, it invites readers to explore the message of all the Scriptures.”

The Gospel of Matthew

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This study of Matthew, like much of Heil's recent work, focuses on one of the key questions that animated the earliest Christians: what is the service that God desires? With careful attention to the flow of the narrative, Heil shows that Matthew's answer is best summarized in the words of the prophet, 'I desire mercy and not [simply] sacrifice' (Hos 6:6).”
