By structuring his Gospel as a story, Matthew depicts Jesus giving instructions to his disciples and also instructs the readers of the text. Hence, Matthew's Gospel becomes a manual of instruction on the nature and demands of God's sovereignty.Library of New Testament studies ;308.T & T Clark library of biblical studies.Providence and government of GodBiblical teachingKingdom of GodBiblical teachingProvidence and government of GodBiblical teaching.Kingdom of GodBiblical teaching.226.2066Hannan Margaret Ann1614162MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811656903321The nature and demands of the sovereign rule of God in the Gospel of Matthew3943851UNINA
