  Theology of Matthew's Gospel A:...

  The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, A Theology of Matthew's Gospel: Audio Lectures includes high-quality live recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources. 
  Michael J. Wilkins’s A Theology of Matthew’s Gospel: Audio Lectures is the culmination of decades of deep reflection and meticulous research on the Gospel. In this audio lecture series, and accompanying book A Theology of Matthew's Gospel, Wilkins explores Matthew as a recollection of Jesus Messiah’s historical ministry as Immanuel, “God with us,” and how that is both the fulfillment of Israel’s hopes and the foundation for the Church’s theology and discipleship. The biblical theology of Matthew that Wilkins presents in his magnum opus is undertaken with three horizons in mind: 
  • The horizon of the historical Jesus focuses on Matthew’s record of God’s activities in the historical ministry of Jesus Messiah.• The horizon of Matthew and his community, a central focus, emphasizes Matthew’s unique theological perspective on the Old Testament, Christology, the kingdom of heaven, discipleship, the Church/church, Israel (past, present, and future), the death and resurrection of Jesus, mission/commission, and eschatology/eternity.• The horizon of the contemporary reader emphasizes today’s engagement with Matthew’s Gospel, seeking to capture the significance of understanding Jesus Messiah’s activities in history and Matthew’s theological perspective for the contemporary church. 
  Wilkins argues that Matthew’s Gospel is at least in part a manual on discipleship to Jesus Messiah in the kingdom of heaven: the Evangelist both reveals Jesus’s true identity in the narratives and records Jesus’s instructions, commands, parables, directives, and prophecies in his discourses that will guide his followers in discipleship to Jesus until the end of the age.
