An illuminating study of gender inclusiveness and marginality in the Gospel of Matthew, using ideas and methods drawn from anthropology and the social sciences.
This insightful study explores the significance of the interactions between Jesus and 'marginal' women recounted in the Gospel of Matthew. Employing social-scientific models and carefully using comparative data, Love examines the various aspects of this marginality, identifying the attempts of Matthew's Gospel to promote Jesus's vision of a new surrogate family of God that challenges the traditional structures of the household.This insightful study explores the significance of the interactions between Jesus and 'marginal' women recounted in the Gospel of Matthew.

Love offers a careful, and often subtle, study, which is transparent about its methodology at every stage. Although of most benefit to students of Matthew, or those engaged in social-scientific readings, it also reflects on contemporary implications for the church in a very different, advanced industrial society.

One can only applaud what Love is endeavouring to do here. He is charting the shift from the advanced agrarian household of Graeco-Roman society to the new surrogate household of the Kingdom of Heaven, by recounting the interactions between Jesus and women, especially 'marginal' women, and showing how they are given their true dignity in the Matthean community.
