Description
This course will undertake a careful exegetical study of Matthew in an attempt to:
- Master the basic content of the gospel through the application of sound exegetical method,
- Note Matthew's emphases vis-a-vis the other Synoptics, and
- Address some of the hermeneutical issues concerning its significance in the modern world.
Given the sheer size of the book some selectivity will be necessary. A secondary concern will be to acquaint students with a number of the critical issues relating to the scholarly study of Matthew. Some familiarity with NT Greek will prove advantageous but is not required
