  • The Gospel of Matthew

    A Hypertextual Commentary

    Series Libro 16 - European Studies in Theology, Philosophy and History of Religions
    This monograph presents an entirely new solution to the synoptic problem. It demonstrates that the Acts of the Apostles functioned as the structure-giving hypotext for the Gospel of Matthew. Accordingly, the Gospel of Matthew is a reworking of not only the Gospel of Luke, but also, in a strictly sequential way, of the Acts of the Apostles. This strictly sequential, hypertextual dependence on Acts ... Leer más
