Review of the hardback: 'Gurtner has produced an extremely valuable
study that clarifies many of the issues that revolve around this
small but highly significant detail in the Matthean text.' The
Expository Times
Review of the hardback: '...the work is a model example that others
would do well to follow. The insights that are generated make a
contribution to Matthaean studies and confirm the impression that
Matthew's use of scriptural traditions serves eschatological as
well as Christological ends.' Journal for the Study of the New
Testament
