This module aims to develop skills in the interpretation of the Gospel of Matthew, with particular attention given to appreciating the text's literary and theological contribution to the New Testament. While the module will focus primarily on the narrative interpretation of the text, important social and historical issues will also be considered. The module will explore (1) relevant background issues, including authorship, provenance, and purpose, (2) the Matthean narrative in its literary and theological context, and (3) selected textual issues that are important and/or disputed within contemporary scholarship.
