Matthew's Jesus is typically described as the humble, compassionate messiah. However, Matthew's theologically rich quotation of Isaiah 42.1-4 underscores the manifestation of justice in Jesus' powerful message and deeds, that is thought to accompany the arrival of the kingdom of God. The study concludes that this citation was central to Matthew's highly ethical understanding of Jesus' life and mission.

Review
"What this book successfully confirms is that Matthew's use of the Old Testament is highly complex at both the narrative and the theological levels. [It] is a welcome contribution to the Matthean scholarship." Eung Chun Park, San Francisco Theological Seminary, Journal of Religion
"...a valuable source for New Testament scholars who are interested in delving into Matthew's characteristic use of fulfillment citations, particularly those of Isaiah. Scholars will appreciate Beaton's careful attention to the form of Matthew's biblical text." Catholic Books Review

Book Description
Matthew's Jesus is typically described as the humble, compassionate messiah. This book argues that this is only half the story. Matthew's theologically rich quotation of Isaiah 42.1-4 underscores the fact that, manifest in Jesus' powerful message and deeds, is the justice that was thought to accompany the arrival of the kingdom of God. The study arrives at the conclusion that this citation was central to Matthew's understanding of Jesus' life and mission. Moving out from this focus, the book offers a fresh exploration of Matthew's high, ethical Christology.
