Powell argues that the Gospel of Matthew represents an attempted compromise between a pro-gentile book and a critical revision of that book produced for the judaizing wing of the early Church, and that material intended to appeal to the followers of John the Baptist was also introduced. The Gospel of Matthew, though given the form of consecutive narrative, is, says Powell, essentially a theological debate carried on by means of allegory: was Jesus the Son of God or a Davidic king?
This provocative and highly stimulating book offers a searching scrutiny of textual and literary questions and their historical implications, and is an original and valuable contribution to the study of the sources and chronology of the synoptic gospels.
"A very curious but strangely fascinating book. . . . Those who are intrigued by what has been appropriately called the riddle of the New Testament, will probably find much of it ingenious and fascinating. . . . In an age of declining standards and increasing mediocrity, it is a timely reminder of the importance and relevance of linguistic knowledge and classical education."?Arthur Long, Faith & Freedom
"The translation has many virtues. There are brilliant emendations and exhilarating textual criticism. . . . In turning to biblical scholarship on his retirement, Mr. Powell has amazed us again. It is sincerely to be hoped that this will not be his last foray into the territory. He has left academic scholarship panting in the rear: it will not quickly catch up with him."?John Tasker, Faith and Worship
