Description

This course will undertake a careful exegetical study of Matthew in an attempt to:

1. Master the basic content of the gospel through the application of sound exegetical method,
2. Note Matthew's emphases vis-a-vis the other Synoptics, and
3. Address some of the hermeneutical issues concerning its significance in the modern world.
