About this book
This book addresses a central issue confronting the reader of the Gospel. Professor Bauer describes the impasse that has been reached in recent investigation of the structure of Matthew and demonstrates that an appreciation of literary design can provide a way forward. After identifying rhetorical features that relate to literary structure, he devotes the major part of his book to a systematic examination of such features as they appear in the Gospel in order to gain a fresh insight into the shape of the work. This study is valuable both for its comprehensive and judicious review of the question of structure in Matthew's Gospel and for the new direction which it establishes.

thatĀ

problems.
Yet
theseĀ

presentationsĀ
point
to
severalĀ
relevant
issues
which
must
be
addressed
inĀ
any
investigation
ofĀ
the
structure
of
Matthew's
Gospel:
(1)Ā
the
significance
of
geographical
and
chrono-
logical
references
forĀ
the
structure
of
Matthew's
Gospel;
(2)Ā
the
relationshipĀ
betweenĀ
narrative
and
discourse
material,
including
the
structuralĀ
significance
ofĀ
theĀ
fivefold
formula
at
7.28;Ā
11.1;
13.53;
19.1;Ā
26.1;
(3)Ā
the
meaning
ofĀ
the
formula
repeated
at

and
16.21,
and
the
relationshipĀ
betweenĀ
this
formula
andĀ
theĀ
fivefold
formula;
(4)
the
relevance
and
function
of
characteristic
Matthean
literary
devices,
such
as
chiasm,
inclusio,
numerical
arrangement,
forĀ
the
problem
of
Matthew's
macrostructure;
(5)Ā
the
existence
of
discrete
topicalĀ
unitsĀ
within
the
GospelĀ
and,
ifĀ
in
fact
theseĀ
unitsĀ
exist,Ā
their
unity
and
interrelationships;
(6)Ā
the
implications
of
Matthew's
structure
forĀ
his
theology,Ā
especially
in
terms
of
christology
and
salvationĀ
history.
With
the
background
of
theseĀ
studies
and
with
