Course Description

Overview

Explore a 48-minute lecture from Yale University's "Introduction to New Testament" course focusing on the Gospel of Matthew. Delve into the paradoxical nature of Matthew's teachings, which preach both Torah-observant Christianity and a mission to reach gentiles. Examine Jesus' portrayal as a teacher, church founder, and role model for apostles and Matthew's community. Understand how Matthew's writing aims to encourage faith during troubled times. The lecture covers five key chapters: Matthew's fame as a gospel, Jesus' relationship with the Torah, the church's foundations, Jesus as a disciple model, and the story of stilling the storm. Access complete course materials on the Open Yale Courses website for this Spring 2009 recording.
