Jesus' Sermon on the Mount

Mandating a Better Righteousness.

Through careful attention to the structure of Matthews Gospel and the place of
the Sermon within it, keen sensitivity to the patterns and themes of Israelite
prophecy, and judicious comparisons with other Jewish and rabbinic literature,
Jack R. Lundbom elucidates the meaning of the Sermon and its continuity with
Israels prophetic heritage as well as the best of Jewish teaching. By deft
appeal to Christian commentators on the Sermon, Lundbom brings its most
important themes to life for the contemporary reader.

It is a great privilege to have the thoughts and reflections of a " wonderful Jeremiah scholar on the Sermon on the Mount. Jack Lundbom has done a
great job in signaling out its many echoes from the Jewish Scriptures. He
convincingly shows that the Sermon of the Mount does not constitute an
unattainable ideal, but that its views need to be lived out in the imitatio
Dei. - George van Kooten"
