Israel's Only Shepherd: Matthew's Shepherd Motif and His Social Setting

by Wayne Baxter

Scholars have used diverse approaches for determining the relationship between Matthew and the variegated Judaism of the first century, but few recognize the important piece that the Evangelist's Christology - in particular the shepherd motif - brings to the puzzle of his socio-religious orientation.
