Episode 3: Matthew As Parody Bible Study: Parody and Subversion in Matthew's Gospel

    • Christianity

This episode is the only one that will not look at one particular text (all the other episodes will continue progressively through Matthew), but rather at the book as a whole. I make the argument in this episode that the whole Gospel of Matthew parodies a genre in the ancient world to get across a very serious message.
