Contents:

Part I. Prolegomena: Introduction: Of authors, readers, and approaches to the parables -- Matthew's trilogy of parables 21.28-22.14. Part II. The Trilogy in Narrative-Critical Perspective -- Jesus' encounter with Israel: the nation, its leaders, and their people -- Jesus and the nations: characterisation, plot, and the reception of Matthew 21.28-22.14 -- A narrative-critical reading of the trilogy. Part III. The Trilogy in Redaction-Critical Perspective -- The trilogy in redaction-critical perspective.

Summary: Wesley Olmstead examines the parables of the Two Sons, the Tenants and the Wedding Feast against the backdrop of the wider Matthean narrative. He explores Matthew's characterization of the Jewish leaders, the people and the nations, and assesses the respective roles of Israel and the nations in the plot of Matthew's Gospel. Against the current of contemporary Matthean scholarship, Olmstead argues both that the judgement this trilogy announces falls upon Israel (and not only her leaders) and that these parables point to the future inclusion of the nations in the nation that God had promised to.
