About this title

Synopsis

From beginning to end, the very structure of the Gospel of Matthew emphasizes that Jesus is the Son of God.

At climactic points Jesus is so identified―by Peter, by a Roman centurion, by Jesus himself, and by God the Father.With The Gospel of the Son of God, David Bauer provides a comprehensive introduction to this Gospel that has been so foundational to the Christian church. Arguing that the nature of Matthew itself should provide us with the framework for itsstudy, he presents a holistic inductive approach with a literary, theological, and canonical focus.

In the first section on orientation, Bauer explores issues of genre, interpretive methods, authorship, audience, and literary structure. Then he moves to interpretation, guiding readers through the meaning of sections of the text. Finally, the reflection section synthesizes and develops major theological themes emerging from the interpretation, including Christology, salvation history, eschatology, and discipleship.

While providing a sound basis for the study of Matthew, Bauer goes beyond typical introductory issues to draw out the rich theological vision of the Gospel. His careful scholarship and clearexposition will make this a valuable resource for college and seminary students and pastors.
