| Summary: | Scholarly discussions regarding the story of the Gadarene demoniac(s) are usually centered on the Markan account (Mark 5:1–20), in part due to the prevalent perception of Markan priority, and in part due to the detailed nature of the Markan account. However, the particularities of the Matthean version, though often glossed over in scholarly treatments, provide some points of interest with respect to Matthew’s use of this story in his Gospel. This essay seeks to outline a summary of modern scholarship on the Matthean passage, so as to isolate the particulari- ties of Matthew’s account that are typically overlooked in such treatments. It concludes with some preliminary suggestions for how these unique elements in Matthew’s version may prove insightful in the broader spectrum of Matthean studies. |
