The Politics of Race and Ethnicity in Matthew's Passion Narrative, 1st Edition, examines how ethnoracial identity operates within the Gospel of Matthew's passion account. The book takes as its departure point the omission of ethnoracial readings in previous biblical scholarship.
The volume demonstrates how the repeated title "King of the Judeans" brings the ethnoracial identity of Jesus into focus. By critiquing prevailing non-ethnoracial interpretations, the study challenges widespread assumptions regarding the non-ethnoracial origins of early Christianity.
The work is designed to assist university and seminary faculty seeking to introduce contemporary ideologies of race and ethnicity into classroom discourse on Jesus.
