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. 410 0$aLibrary of New Testament studies ;$v308. 410 0$aT & T Clark library of biblical studies. 606 $aProvidence and government of God$xBiblical teaching 606 $aKingdom of God$xBiblical teaching 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aProvidence and government of God$xBiblical teaching. 615 0$aKingdom of God$xBiblical teaching. 676 $a226.2066 700 $aHannan$b Margaret Ann$0890670 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461282003321 996 $aThe nature and demands of the sovereign rule of God in the Gospel of Matthew$91989534 997 $aUNINA
