内容简介

Matthew's Jesus is typically described as the humble, compassionate messiah. This book argues that this is only half the story. Matthew's theologically rich quotation of Isaiah 42.1-4 underscores the fact that, manifest in Jesus' powerful message and deeds, is the justice that was thought to accompany the arrival of the kingdom of God. The study arrives at the conclusion that this citation was central to Matthew's understanding of Jesus' life and mission. Moving out from this focus, the book offers a fresh exploration of Matthew's high, ethical Christology.
