Matthew Matters: The Yoke of Wisdom and the Church of Tomorrow (Didsbury Lecture)

The Gospel of Matthew says some things about Jesus and attributes words to Jesus that are unique to this Gospel. If we pay careful attention to these passages we may find Matthew both challenging some of our most treasured assumptions and providing new exciting possibilities for the life of the church. Jesus as the teacher and embodiment of Divine Wisdom calling to us to learn gentleness and humility from him leads us into a path of discipleship that has profound implications for Christians relationship with the world--but especially with Jews and Muslims.
