Seventy times seven Sin, judgment, and forgiveness in Matthew

Buckley, Thomas W. (1929-...)

Seventy times seven Sin, judgment, and forgiveness in Matthew Thomas W. Buckley - Collegeville, U.S.A The Liturgical 1991 - 102tr. Paperback 22cm

That forgiveness of sin and reconcilation with God is possible for humanity through Jesus Christ is the divine mystery Matthew seeks to illumine. How the evangelist does so is the object of this volume. The Matthean notion of sin and judgment are examined. The visitation upon the temple and Jerusalem is recalled as well as the prospect of the last judgment upon the nation universally. Finally, the text reviews the Gospel's portrayal of Jesus as Savior: that through the sacrificial offering of his body and blood, sin is forgiven, guilt is expiated, and humanity is renewed in hope.
