Abstract
This thesis reveals that the spirituality of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew is his ‘teaching’ and ‘practice’. The researcher traced the spirituality of Jesus by examining the form and character of Matthew’s community in terms of sociological context and spirituality. In this respect, the researcher observed that there were two groups in Matthew’s community. That is, one group is the ‘Jewish-Christian group’ and the other group is the ‘Gentile-Christian spirituality group’. These two groups opposed each other in terms of the spirituality of Jesus’ teaching and practice. However, Matthew regards these two subjects as two different functions to make the conflicting aspect of these two groups coexist. In other words, it is presumed that the Jewish-Christian group within the Matthew community used the spirituality of the teaching and practice of Jesus in academic conflict with the synagogue and the Gentile –Christian spirituality group used it to compete with and differentiate from other evangelical communities. Furthermore, this thesis changes the view of Jesus’ teaching and practice in Matthew’s Gospel into a partial confrontation, breaking away from the conventional view that only regarded it as a total confrontation with the synagogue. In addition, Matthew expanded the missionary scope and emphasized the theme of teaching and practice which was used for competition and differentiation of spirituality with other evangelical communities from a missionary point of view. In particular, it was seen that the Matthew community emphasized the spirituality of the teaching and practice of Jesus in order to evangelize the intellectuals of the city as urban community. Therefore, this thesis asserts that the subject of teaching and practice in the Gospel of Matthew is the ideal type of faith of Jesus preferred by the Matthew community, which is also Jesus’ spirituality. The research method of this thesis mainly used literature research method. Mainly using Q data, Matthew’s special data, and the four Gospels of the New Testament as main sources, the differences among the Gospels were studied in parallel with a focus on parallel passages. In conclusion, the researcher asserts that the spirituality of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew is his teaching and practice. Through this thesis, it is expected that through the spirituality of Jesus, who is the origin of Christian spirituality, it will be an opportunity to compare with the spirituality currently used in Christianity or the content of spirituality claimed by spiritualists, and to discern its authenticity
