Description
Matthew's most prominent and best-known structural feature is the series of five discourses. Known variously as five books, speeches, sermons, or discourses, a good many scholars have proposed that these five sections form an integral part of the macrostructure of the book, or that Matthew intends for readers to use the five discourses as didactic material for discipleship. However, the extent of the fifth and final discourse is a matter of some debate. In the present study, I will examine the debate over the extent of the fifth discourse and show that it encompasses chs. 23 through 25. In my conclusion I will draw together ideas found throughout the article in order to show the significance of the extent of the fifth discourse for the interpretation of Matthew and for the structure of the Gospel. To be sure, many scholars have offered structural alternatives, such as Jack Dean Kingsbury's threefold outline revolving around plot development and the phrase [TEXT NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII].
