During the course of the twelfth century, increasing numbers of Jews migrated into dynamically developing western Christendom from Islamic lands. The vitality that attracted them also presented a challenge: Christianity - from early in its history - had proclaimed itself heir to a failed Jewish community and thus the vitality of western Christendom was both appealing and threatening to the Jewish immigrants. Indeed, western Christendom was entering a phase of intense missionising activity, some of which was directed at the long-term Jewish residents of Europe and the Jewish newcomers. This 2003 study examines the techniques of persuasion adopted by the Jewish polemicists in order to reassure their Jewish readers of the truth of Judaism and the error of Christianity. At the very deepest level, these Jewish authors sketched out for their fellow Jews a comparative portrait of Christian and Jewish societies - the former powerful but irrational and morally debased, the latter the weak but reasonable and morally elevated - urging that the obvious and sensible choice was Judaism.

A literary-critical analysis is embarked to show how Matthew highlights the primacy, authority, and exclusivity of Jesus' role as the Teacher of God's will and how he features five long discourses in the narrative. Two cultural parallels, the Teacher of Righteousness and Epictetus, are studied for comparison. The ways in which they are remembered in the literature and in which they shape the lives of their followers provide proper historical perspectives and useful frames of reference. Finally, a social-historical reading of the three teachers and their followers, in the light of pertinent sociological theories (sociology of knowledge, group formation), indicates that Jesus the One Teacher serves four crucial functions for his readers in Matthew's church: polemic, apologetic, didactic, and pastoral. In einer literaturkritischen Analyse wird dargelegt, wie Matthäus den Vorrang, die Autorität und die Ausschließlichkeit der Rolle Jesu als Lehrer des Willens Gottes hervorhebt und wie er fünf lange Reden in der Erzählung herausstellt. Der Lehrer der Gerechtigkeit und Epiktet werden als zwei kulturelle Parallelen zum Vergleich herangezogen. Die Art und Weise, in der ihrer in der Literatur gedacht wird und in der sie das Leben ihrer Jünger formen, bietet eine adäquate historische Perspektive und einen hilfreichen Bezugsrahmen. Abschließend wird durch eine im Licht der relevanten soziologischen Theorien (Wissenssoziologie, Gruppenbildung) durchgeführte soziohistorische Interpretation der drei Lehrer und ihrer Jünger darauf hingewiesen, dass Jesus als der Eine Lehrer für die Leser in der Gemeinde des Matthäus vier kritische Funktionen erfüllt - eine polemische, eine apologetische, eine didaktische und eine seelsorgerische.

'Gospel' initially referred to oral proclamation concerning Jesus Christ, but was later used to refer to four written accounts of the life of Jesus. How did this happen? Here, distinguished scholar Graham Stanton uses new evidence and fresh perspectives to tackle this controversial question. He insists that in the early post-Easter period, the Gospel of Jesus Christ was heard against the backdrop of a rival set of 'gospels' concerning the Roman emperors. In later chapters Stanton examines the earliest criticisms of Jesus and of claims concerning his resurrection. Finally, he discusses the early Christian addiction to the codex (book) format as opposed to the ubiquitous roll, and undermines the view that early copies of the Gospels were viewed as downmarket handbooks of an inward looking sect. With half the material previously unpublished and the rest carefully gathered from sources difficult to access, this is a timely study with broad appeal.
