A marginal scribe : studies of the gospel of Matthew in social-scientific perspective / Dennis C. Duling.

• The emergence of social-scientific criticism in New Testament study -- The gospel of Matthew and social-scientific criticism -- The gospel of Matthew and social-scientific models -- Matthew's plurisignificant "son of David" in social-scientific perspective : kinship, kingship, magic, and miracle -- Matthew and marginality -- "Egalitarian" ideology, leadership, and factional conflict in the gospel of Matthew -- The Matthean brotherhood and marginal scribal leadership -- Matthew 18:15-17 : conflict, confrontation, and conflict resolution in a "fictive" kin association -- Matthew as a marginal scribe in an advanced agrarian society -- Ethnicity, ethnocentrism, and the Matthean "ethnos" -- A marginal scribe : putting it all together.

• This is a collection of eight studies written over a period of two decades, all of which use social-scientific criticism to interpret the Gospel of Matthew. It prefaces them, first, with a new chapter on the struggle between historians and social scientists since the Enlightenment and its parallel in New Testament studies, which culminated in the emergence of social-scientific criticism; and, second, with a new chapter on recent social-scientific interpretation of the Gospel of Matthew. The eight, more specialized studies cover a variety of themes and use a variety of models but concentrate and are held together by those that illumine social ranking and marginality. The book closes with a chapter that ties together these studies.
