"This is a volume that every student of the New Testament will want to own. In it ten foremost Matthean scholars illumine topics that are of both scholarly interest and pastoral relevance, including health care and healing, Jewish-Christian relations, and feminist concerns. The overview of new directions in Matthean studies and the employment of a variety of methods in the essays make this a rich resource. It is a very fitting tribute to a beloved teacher who, like the evangelist, knew how to bring both old and new from his storehouse."
"This collection of studies combines both scholarly and pastoral themes appropriate to the memory of Thompson, who was a Matthean scholar with keen pastoral concern. All students of Matthew's Gospel will benefit from the many enlightening exegetical points as well as the provocative pastoral insights offered." Adela Yarbro Collins
"This volume has something for everyone. It addresses exegetical and historical issues as well as questions of method and pastoral concerns. The essays are well written and engaging." Jerome Neyrey
"This book is more than the sum of its parts. It not only synthesizes the state of scholarship but also points to exciting new ways of reading the first Gospel. I have not seen so rich an assemblage of studies on one book of the Bible. This very humane piece of scholarship is sure to please teachers and students alike."
