Review

"In this unique historical survey, Howard Clarke, Emeritus professor of Classics at the University of California at Santa Barbara, demonstrates how the gospel of St. Matthew has been understood and used by everyone from Ignatius of Anitoch, to interpretive luminaries like the film-star Rita Hayworth, who in Salome (1953) dances before Herod in an effort to save John the Baptist... Clarke preaches no sermon from this fascinating book. It provides no answers to doctrinal questions ... Howard Clarke's purpose is strictly historical. It may however provoke thoughtful readers to ask again, with Pontius Pilate, "What is truth?"--THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH, 14 September 2003 "Howard Clarke's lively discussion of the ways in which Matthew has been read offers valuable insights into its use and abuse both as Christian scripture and as a cultural aftefact."--Church of ENgland Newspaper, 1 April 2005
