The Sermon on the Mount in the Light of the Temple

Burlington, VT

Ashgate Publishing Company

2009

"This book sets out to show that the Sermon on the Mount is best understood in a matrix of temple themes. Temple vocabulary and allusions saturate every stage of this text. This consistent confluence on temple themes gives the Sermon on the Mount a unified rhetorical voice and a powerful sense of authority that explains what it is that makes and has always made this text so ethically compelling. However, no systematic analysis of Matthew 5-7 has previously attempted to connect the Sermon on the Mount so thoroughly with the Temple. No sustained commentary has ever before suggested that the totality of the Sermon on the Mount is viewed most clearly when seen in the light of the Temple." [Author]
