Discipleship, the Unfolding of Baptismal Grace, and the Gospel of Matthew
NEW EVANGELIZATION STUDIES
“Follow me.”
JESUS
Mt 4:19
“Come to me … and I will give you rest … learn from me; for I am gentle and humble of heart.”
JESUS
Mt 11:28-30
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age.”
JESUS
Mt 28:19-20
The common priesthood of the faithful is exercised by the unfolding of baptismal grace — a life of faith, hope, and charity, a life according to the Spirit.

This course seeks to explore what makes the Gospel of Matthew so unique. We will consider the structure and content of this literary masterpiece, what it has in common with the other gospels, and what is unique. The Gospel of Matthew is full of practical advice about how to live Christian discipleship, how to grow in virtue, how to deal with personal struggles, questions, and problems. As we focus on the rich theology of Christ’s fulfilment of Old Covenant prophecies, we will consider how the New Testament really is an unveiling of the Old, and we will discover the lessons for us in our life today.
Once you have registered and made your payment you will receive an email on the evening before each lecture/discussion session, with the link for the next day’s session. On the first day of a course, there will be an optional test meeting 15 minutes before the start of the session – for anyone who wishes to practice clicking the link and making sure they can see and hear without any problems. At the time of the session, to “enter the meeting room”, you simply click the link in your email, follow the directions, and you are in! There is no need for any advanced computer or technical skill. Real-time Interactive Participation Once you are in the “meeting room”, you can see and hear everything. To ask questions, or participate in the discussion, you simply un-mute your microphone (or you can opt to just listen). We prefer everyone’s web-cam to be turned on, so that we’re all visible to each other, but you can opt to turn off your web-cam if necessary. You can ask questions, contribute to the discussion, and participate just as you would if you were onsite – all from the comfort of your own home. Following each session, notes will be emailed to you. 24-hour email, and access to your tutor by phone or Zoom by appointment. In Case You Miss a Lecture on one of our long courses As with any discipline, a certain time commitment is necessary in order to learn effectively. Nevertheless, we understand that there will be times when you might be unable to attend a lecture. When this happens, you can contact your course lecturer as soon as possible so that arrangements can be made for you to learn the material covered in the lecture you missed. You will be provided with the resources necessary, so that you do not have major gaps in your learning.
