Wesley G. Olmstead : Matthew's Trilogy of Parables: The Nation, the Nations and the Reader in Matthew 21:28-22:14 (Society for New Testament Studies Monograph Series)
Product Description
Wesley Olmstead examines the parables of the Two Sons, the Tenants and the Wedding Feast against the background of the wider Matthean narrative. He explores Matthew's characterization of the Jewish leaders, assessing the respective roles of Israel and the nations in the plot of Matthew's Gospel. Against the current of contemporary Matthean scholarship, Olmstead argues that these parables indicate the future inclusion of other nations in the "nation" that God had promised to raise up from Abraham.
