The Baylor-Mohr Siebeck Studies in Early Christianity series undertook this translation of a monumental synthetic study of ecclesiology in the Gospel of Matthew by notable German scholar Matthias Konradt. Israel, Church, and the Gentiles in the Gospel of Matthew is a meticulously researched and provocative challenge to latent anti-Semitism and supersessionist theology within Matthean studies. Konradt uses this book to reinterpret Matthew not as anti-Judaic in a generalized sense, but rather as anti-Pharisaic.
