We will return to the Greek New Testament this fall, studying the Gospel according to Matthew. The Gospel according to Matthew was probably written around 70 A.D. and was not intended as an eyewitness account, but a form of biography. Ancient biographies use a chronological framework and episodic structure to describe the life, deeds, teachings and death of a significant person. While honoring the person's memory, these texts instruct, entertain, elicit praise and provide readers with a noble model. Like these biographical texts, the Gospel of Matthew seeks to shape the identity of communities of Jesus' followers (then and NOW) and guide their way of life. All are welcome to join us downstairs in Fellowship Hall, Sunday Mornings 9:45-10:40am.
