The interpretation of this gospel integrates an objective analysis of its historical context and a subjective semantic disclosure of meaning. To that end, a close reading of the text is combined with consistency building in order to achieve textual congruence and plenitude of meaning. The subject/ object split of traditional biblical scholarship that requires analysis in order to produce explanation as a definable object is superseded in this book by the event of reading as a dynamic happening of personal experience from which the reader cannot detach herself or himself.

Industry Reviews

This book is a must read not only for those interested in a serious, scholarly engagement of the text and historical context of Matthean theology, but also for those interested in defending some dogmatic theology that they bring with them to the text. With his rigorous philological insights, knowledge of the secondary literature of biblical scholarship of the First and Second Testaments, historical acumen, and theological breadth and depth of understanding, Waetjen shatters the lenses of the 'cultured despisers' of Christian theology as well as those of the blind followers of a 'corrupted' Christian theology devoted
to eternal self-interest. Above all, Waetjen grabs the telescope that is focused on the 'next life' of Christian self-understanding and turns it around to focus on the Matthean emphasis on the life-transforming and liberating potential of Christianity for history in this world.
