{"product_id":"heaven-and-earth-in-the-jonathan-t-pennington-9780801037283","title":"Heaven and Earth in the Gospel of Matthew","description":"The theme of heaven and earth is a much-overlooked aspect of the Gospel of Matthew. In this work, rising scholar Jonathan Pennington articulates a fresh perspective on this key interpretive issue, challenging both the scholarly and popular understandings of the meaning of Matthew's phrase, \"kingdom of heaven.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePennington argues that rather than being a reverent way of referring to God as is typically assumed, \"heaven\" in Matthew is part of a highly developed discourse of heaven and earth language. Matthew's way of using heaven language serves one overriding theological purpose: to highlight the tension that currently exists between heaven and earth or God and humanity, while looking forward to its eschatological resolution.
