  Offers insights into the Sermon on the Mount by seeing it in the shadow of the all-pervasive Temple in Jerusalem, which dominated the religious landscape of the world of Jesus and his earliest disciples. This book analyzes Matthew 5-7 in light of biblical and Jewish backgrounds, ritual studies, and oral performances in early Christian worship.
