Israel, Church, and the Gentiles in the Gospel of Matthew

I srael, Church, and the Gentiles in the Gospel of Matthew is full of original observations and fresh arguments. Konradt has built a new foundation for all future work on the crucial topic of Israel and the Church in Matthew's Gospel.

A powerful synthesis of Matthean ecclesiology

~Joshua W. Jipp, Bulletin for Biblical Research

Any theory is accountable to the text. This is the strength of Konradt’s work. His reading coheres with the structure of the Gospel of Matthew’s Christology, and he also provides careful exegesis of individual texts.

This exemplary study of Matthew’s theology has significance not only for an accurate interpretation of this Gospel but also for opening new horizons for the contemporary Christian-Jewish dialogue.
