With sensitivity to contemporary social concerns such as peace, economic justice, the rights of women, and our relationship to the natural world, Pregeant makes the gospel of Matthew come alive for readers, speaking to their needs and giving hope to people of today. He goes beyond biblical interpretation to offer theological reflection on issues raised for contemporary readers:
- Patriarchal and hierarchical elements in the biblical worldview
- Passages that have been used to feed anti-Jewish sentiment
- Miracle-stories and apocalyptic passages
- Christian exclusivism
- Passages that depict the violence of God
