Matthew 21-28

Description

In this third volume, Luz brings his superlative analysis of Matthew's Gospel to a close. He is renowned for both his discerning exegetical insights as well as his tracing of the effects the text has had throughout history - in theological argument, art, and literature. This final section provides in-depth treatment of Jesus' final days - his entry into Jerusalem, the Passion Narrative, and post-resurrection appearances. About the Author Ulrich Luz was born in 1938 and studied under Hans Conzelmann, Edward Schweizer, and Gerhard Ebling. He taught in Tokyo and Göettingen before becoming Professor of New Testament Studies at the Unversity of Bern, Switzerland. Among his many publications are Matthew in History (1994) and The Theology of the Gospel of Matthew (1995).
