Matthew 28 (Resurrection and the Great Commission) with Dr. Terry Donaldson
Dr. Terry Donaldson (Wycliffe College, University of Toronto) talks to us about Matthew 28. We discuss:
* The Great Commission scene as Matthew's narrative conclusion
* How Matthew's ending compares with Mark's ending
* Matthew's apologetic concern in the presentation of Jesus' resurrection
* Whether to translate the Greek term "Ioudaiois" (in 28:15) as "Judeans" or "Jews"
* The significance of mountains in Matthew, and Zion traditions
* Whether Jesus instructs his disciples to disciple "all the nations" or "all the Gentiles" (28:19)
* What the triadic formula (“the name of Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”) and the promise of Jesus' ongoing presence (vv. 19–20) suggests about Matthew's christology
