The Genius of the Gospel Of Matthew - What Scholars Say About the First Gospel
The Gospel of Matthew is revered for preserving the iconic teachings of Jesus, especially from the Sermon on the Mount, including the Beatitudes, the Golden Rule, and the Lord’s Prayer, inspiring Christian readers through the ages...
However, there is a lot more to this Gospel than meets the eye. This course explores the real literary genius that goes almost completely unnoticed even by many avid Bible readers, whether committed conservative Christians, liberal-minded seekers, or complete outsiders with purely literary interests.
Always controversial and full of intrigue, join Bart as he delves into lesser-known insights from modern biblical scholarship, unraveling the mysteries behind one of the most influential books in our cultural history.
Questions covered in this course include:
- If, as scholars maintain, Matthew used the Gospel of Mark as one of his sources, why did he change it so extensively?
- Why does Matthew provide a genealogical line of Jesus that he is explicitly said not to be born into?
- Does Matthew sometimes misquote the Old Testament or take it out of context in his attempt to prove that Jesus was the messiah?
- How are we to understand the Sermon on the Mount? Does Jesus really expect his followers to keep such rigorous teachings? Not ever to get angry? Never to lust?
- Matthew is often said to be the “most Jewish” of the Gospels. It is also often described as virulently anti-Jewish. How can it be both?
- How was this Gospel used over the years both to shape Christian morality and to instigate horrible persecutions of Jews? Are there right and wrong ways to read this influential book?
