Reviews

“This work brings a new light on the narrative approach to the Gospels.”
-Prof. Rafael Vicent, Salesian Pontifical University

"Cabrido’s work is thorough in its investigation, persuasive in its argumentation, and clear in its conclusions. It provides an excellent explanation of how and why Jesus is presented as the Davidic and eschatological Shepherd in the Gospel of Matthew, even if Jesus is never so explicitly identified."
-Prof. Clay Alan Ham, Lincoln Christian University

From the Foreword
“. . . a uniquely original perspective . . . an important contribution to the research.”
