Introduction to Matthew with Dale Allison Jr.

Join us as Dr. Dale Allison Jr. (Princeton Theological Seminary) orients us to the Gospel of Matthew. We discuss: Matthew’s historical setting; the book’s literary structure and major theological themes; major interpretive issues that the church has grappled with throughout the centuries; and what we would be missing if we did not have the gospel of Matthew. Listen here.
