Why was Matthew written to the Jews?

A:There are two principal reasons that Matthew's Gospel has traditionally been thought to have been written for Jews. The first is the traditional attribution of this originally anonymous gospel to the disciple Matthew and the second is its extensive use of references from the Old Testament .Modern New Testament scholars now say that the Gospel could not have been written by an eyewitness to the events portrayed, which rules out Matthew as the real author. They also point to clear evidence that the Gospel was written in Greek, meaning that it was written for a Greek-speaking audience. Its Old Testament references were taken from the Septuagint and include errors that Palestinian Jews would hve quickly recognised. Matthew's Gospel may perhaps have been written for Jews of the Greek-speaking diaspora, but not for Palestinian Jews.

Why is it important that you learn about the gospel of Paul?

Technically speaking, there is no "Gospel of Paul" as there is a Gospel of Luke or a Gospel of John. I think what you are referencing is that Paul believed the that Gospel (the Good News about Jesus) was intended for non-Jews as well as Jews, and that God had called him to carry the Gospel to non-Jews. In addition, it is from Paul that we learn that we are made right with God through faith and not through works.

Which gospel was written to early Christians?

It is likely that all the gospels were written to early Christians.Mark's Gospel was the first of the gospels, written around 70 CE. It appears to have been written to believers, although a secondary audience might have been the Romans who were suspicious of the new religion and who could have been pacified by being shown that Christians were actually Jews who also followed a holy man.Matthew's Gospel is often said to have been written to the Jews, but modern Jews say that errors in the Gospel would have quickly been detected by any Jews, and they do not believe that it could have been written for Jews. At most it was written for Jews of the diaspora and, if so, more likely for Jewish Christians. The author was at pains to demonstrate the antiquity of Christianity, by frequent references to the Old Testament, but this is more likely to have been defensive than to appeal to pious Jews.Luke's Gospel is addressed to an unknown patron, Theophilus. Some theologians see Theophilus as a symbolic name, representing all Christians. Whether or not there was a real Theophilus, few seem him as the primary audience for Luke. It was more likely written to members of a community that was already using a copy of Mark's Gospel and were therefore Christians. The author was at pains to demonstrate the historicity of Jesus so, like Matthew, this Gospel might have had as a secondary audience those who scoffed at the new religion.John's Gospel is widely considered to have been written to a local Christian community now known as the Johannine community. This may well have been a community of Gnostic Christians.

Which gospel was written for the gentiles?

John's Gospel was written for what is now called the Johannine community. Luke's gospel also seems to have been written for a limited community, although it may also have been intended to demonstrate to outsiders, such as the Roman authorities, the antiquity and virtues of Christianity. Some believe that Matthew's Gospel was written for a Jewish community, and if so this would have been a diaspora community. Mark's Gospel shows no indication of having been intended for a limited community, and in fact this gospel was known to the authors of all the other New Testament gospels - Matthew, Luke and John. So, Mark was the most universal of the gospels.

Which gospel is most hostile to Judaism?

A:New Testament scholars have noted that early Christian literature became increasingly hostile to the Jews as time progressed. Mark's Gospel, written around 70 CE, condemned the scribes and Pharisees but was conciliatory towards the ordinary Jews. Matthew's Gospel came next, written during the 80s of the first century when history shows Judaism and Christianity to be increasingly hostile to each other, and is somewhat hostile to the Jews. Luke was written around the end of the first century, after Christians had been banned from attending synagogues, and shows clear hostility towards the Jews in its account of the life of Jesus. Johnwas written some time after Luke and is quite hostile towards Judaism.
