Isaiah's Christ in Matthew's Gospel by Richard Beaton
Matthew's Jesus is typically described as the humble, compassionate messiah. However, Matthew's theologically rich quotation of Isaiah 42.1-4 underscores the manifestation of justice in Jesus' powerful message and deeds, that is thought to accompany the arrival of the kingdom of God. The study concludes that this citation was central to Matthew's highly ethical understanding of Jesus' life and mission.
'… a stimulating and well argued piece of work … Richard Beaton's book is an excellent contribution' Journal of the New Testament Society of South Africa
'… his emphasis on the ethical dimension of Matthew's Christology is to be welcomed. He is also to be commended on the depth of his exegesis of key Old Testament citations in Matthew, and on the extent to which he is able to draw on an extensive range of relevant scholarship. This book will be appreciated by all those with an interest in Matthew's Gospel, in the use of the Old Testament in the New, or in early Christian Christologies.' Susan Docherty, Scripture Bulletin
'Beaton demonstrates that Matthew's use of this (and other) Isaiah text(s) is more complex than previously believed, exhibiting a bi-referential function in the final form of Matthew … Beaton has certainly mad a fine contribution to the field of Judeo-Christian exegetical practices and toward a better understanding of Matthean Christiology.'
