Introducing...The Year of Matthew (1st of 2 seminars)
About
Led by Canon Peter SillsAlthough placed first in the New Testament, Matthew’s Gospel was the second to be written. Composed around AD70 for a Jewish Christian community, possibly situated in Syria, it has a distinctive style and layout. This Zoom seminar, the first of two, explores when, why and by whom the Gospel was written, the sources on which it is based, its distinctive features, and its major themes. The second seminar (April 23, 2026), will look more closely at Matthew’s teaching and his picture of Jesus.
Canon Peter Sills, formerly Vice-Dean of Ely, is a retired priest and pilgrimage guide attached to the Beacon Parish of Ditchling, Streat & Westmeston. He is the author of several books, including Six Steps Into The Bible, written for those who want to get under the skin of the Bible and deepen their understanding of the scriptures: www.peter-sills.co.uk/courses.
