Matthean Parables have often been read through the lens of their Synoptic parallels, which has, for instance, led to the claim that Matthew does not have a parable theory of its own. Peter Yaw Oppong-Kumi offers a careful and detailed analysis of the three parabolic compositions in the Gospel of Matthew. He presents a new approach to Matthew’s parables and calls for a reading of the gospel that frees it from the „dependency“ of its sources. Through meticulous study the author shows the interconnectedness of Matthew’s parable compositions through their common theology and context. Peter Yaw Oppong-Kumi demonstrates how Matthew’s parable compositions have been constructed as a narrative and rhetorical piece to respond to one important question of the gospel, namely who accepts or rejects the Gospel’s protagonist and what are the ramifications of that.
