Divine Wrath and Salvation in Matthew - Anders Runesson - Bog

Judgment and the wrath of God are prominent themes in Matthews Gospelthemes that have often been read in terms of Gods rejection of Israel. Anders Runesson sets out to show, through careful study of Matthews composition and comparison with contemporary Jewish literature, that the theme of divine judgment plays very different and distinct roles regarding diverse groups of Jews (including Jesus disciples) and non-Jews in this Gospel, and that the criteria of judgment are not always what Christian readers have assumed.
