Course Info
Most New Testament readers recognize that the Gospel of Matthew presents Yeshua in a very Jewish light. A knowledge of Matthew's context within first-century Judaism can offer an even richer understanding of the first Gospel. Get ready to go deep into the history and theology of Matthew, as Dr. Schaser walks you through Matthew's Genealogy, the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus' ministry in Galilee and in Jerusalem, and the Messiah's Passion and Resurrection. Each lecture will show you how skillfully the author presents Jesus as the awaited Messiah of Israel, as well as provide insights into the language and biblical themes that would have been familiar to Matthew's first readers. You will be amazed as you reexamine the Messiah's miracles and teachings in light of the rich cultural background of early Judaism.

Posted 1 year agoDr. S speaks quickly, his knowledge and passion for the subject matter are obvious. One must listen closely, stop the video occasionally to write additional notes on those provided by the professor, and to assimilate what he is teaching. But that information is enlightening and uplifting - worth the time invested - every minute of it. Thank you. -

Posted 1 year agoGreat course for beginners/intermediate so the only comment that would improve the course for me would be a longer course giving more detail on the text. -
