Publisher's Synopsis
Matthew, Apostle and Evangelist: A Study on the Authorship of the First Gospel is a scholarly work by Edgar Johnson Goodspeed. In this book, Goodspeed investigates the authorship of the Gospel of Matthew, one of the four canonical Gospels in the New Testament. He examines the historical context in which the Gospel was written, the language and style used, and the theological themes presented. Goodspeed argues that the Gospel was likely written by the Apostle Matthew, one of Jesus' disciples, and that it was written in Aramaic before being translated into Greek. He also explores the Gospel's portrayal of Jesus as the Messiah and its emphasis on Jewish traditions and customs. This book is a valuable resource for scholars and students of biblical studies, as well as anyone interested in the origins of Christianity and the development of the New Testament.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
