| Summary: | Matthew’s demoniacs account (Matt 8:28–34) is a scene fraught with interpretive difficulties. In a recent course at Loyola University of Chicago, four PhD students (now all ABD) and I gave particular attention to this scene, as well as the accounts surrounding it. Most significantly, we noted how Matthew situates the demoniacs scene within a literary context that deals particularly with discipleship and mission. After discussing the narrative setting of this scene, I asked these students to investigate four elements that could help us better understand the scene and its meaning in Matthew. This introduction contextualizes the following contributions, which will conclude with an essay that utilizes their findings. |
