In this book, Erik Waaler discusses how Matthew uses the Old Testament in the first four chapters of the gospel to describe Jesus as the Christ. He shows how the author of Matthew played with the Old Testament text to get this message through, for example by using the genealogy to defend the chastity of Mary, the mother of Jesus.
