In fact, the Gospel of Matthew was the most Jewish of the Synoptic Gospels, and Matthews paradigm was the needed transition for understanding the role of the new community post-70 AD. The importance and role of Jewish concepts is evident in Matthews work. More specifically, the literary nature of the Beatitudes demonstrates a composition that evolved from oral origins. Speech act theory is utilized to point out the oral features of the text as well as to reveal what Jesus did in his sayings. Moreover, a speech act model is presented and applied to the Beatitudes pericope. Their significance lies in the authoritative utterances of Jesus. By employing speech act theory on the Beatitudes, the sayings of Jesus are investigated to illustrate the force of his eloquence on the Christian community.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51328100565280,"sku":"NEW143311545X","price":111.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/613WlEXsosL.jpg?v=1773179946","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-matthean-beatitudes-in-their-jewish-origins-a-literary-and-speech-act-analysis-studies-in-biblical-literature-143311545x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
