Matthean Sets of Parables (Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen Zum Neuen Testament)

the long version

Hauptbeschreibung Matthean Parables have often been read through the lens of their Synoptic parallels, which has, for instance, led to the claim that Matthew does not have a parable theory of its own. Peter Yaw Oppong-Kumi offers a careful and detailed analysis of the three parabolic compositions in the Gospel of Matthew.

Through meticulous study the author shows the interconnectedness of Matthew's parable compositions through their common theo.
