The King Who Teaches: St. Matthew’s Royal Curriculum

“The ideal aid for anyone who wishes to better understand what Matthew’s Gospel is and how it works. The use of open-ended questions is a sure way to open minds. Engaging and at times provocative, this wonderful tool will help students realize that they don’t know what they thought they knew.”


—Dale C. Allison Jr., professor of New Testament, Princeton Theological Seminary





“Here is a rich and thought-provoking resource for teachers and students on all levels. Eugene Lemcio’s volume provides a genuine treasure trove of pedagogical aids—intra-Matthean, intertextual, and Greco-Roman—for the study of the Gospel of Matthew from a fascinating variety of angles. Lemcio’s study tools draw consistently on inductive methodology. And they offer a sturdy collection of redaction, narrative, and composition-critical exercises intended to draw teachers and students alike into the task of learning from ‘St. Matthew’s Royal Curriculum.’”


—Dorothy Jean Weaver, professor emerita of New Testament, Eastern Mennonite Seminary
