AI-generated Abstract
Nicholas G. Piotrowski's study explores the socio-rhetorical dimensions of scriptural citations in Matthew's prologue, arguing that these references are not merely Christological but also reflect broader sociological functions. Utilizing Umberto Eco's concept of the "Model Reader," Piotrowski claims that Matthew's citations evoke a framework grounded in the Jewish scriptures, emphasizing themes of exile and restoration. The work highlights the interconnectedness of Matthew's citations with the Second Temple context while advocating for a deeper understanding of their hermeneutical coherence, despite some methodological criticisms.
