Book Description:
|
The first full-scale study of David traditions in the Gospel of Matthew's story of Jesus death. Matthew's messiah does not kill the Romans as many expected, but rather is killed by them. Nevertheless, Matthew cleverly attempts to show that Jesus suffered like David, and is thus the messiah despite his shameful execution.
