The Spirit in the Gospel of Matthew

This book is a focused and in-depth investigation of the pneumatology of Matthew’s Gospel. It applies a narrative-critical approach to explore how Matthew uses the Spirit in his story of Jesus. Chapters focus on literary sources for Matthew’s pneumatology, the theoretical framework of narrative criticism, and exegesis of pericopae fundamental for interpreting Matthew’s pneumatology. This study fills a significant lacuna in Matthean scholarship and offers insights that can offer fresh perspectives on other New Testament pneumatologies (particularly those of Mark, Luke-Acts, John, and Paul). It will appeal primarily to those with a professional scholarly interest in the Gospel of Matthew and the New Testament in general, those interested in pneumatology and the Trinity (whether in systematic theology or biblical studies), and those engaged in literary approaches to the Bible.
