This study considers how ‘apocalyptic discourse’ functions within Matthew’s Gospel. Of the four gospels, Matthew has been called the most ‘apocalyptic’ in nature but most of the discussion of this literary feature has been limited to chapters 24-25. However, the violent scenes in Matthew 2 along with 24-25 form an inclusio for the whole of Matthew’s Gospel and provide a basis for relating other apocalyptic discourses. This study maintains that Matthew is a bios with elements of apocalyptic discourse woven throughout it. This paper offers a theological interpretation of Matthew that integrates the concepts of apocalyptic warfare and a three-tiered symbolic universe.
