Ulrich Luz is a professor of New Testament Studies at the University of Bern. Luz holds Matthew to be primarily story and thus shapes his theology accordingly (even to inserting systematic sections much as Matthew inserts Jesus' direct discourses).

Chapter one covers theological issues relating to the structure, literary context, and provenance. Chapters two through eight cover theological issues arranged as related to each section (1:1-4:22; 5-7; 8:1-11:30; 12:1-16:20; 16:21-20:34; 21:1-25:46; 26-28). Chapter nine concludes by looking at Matthew's relation to Jesus, Paul, Church history, and Christians today.

Luz intends to provide a programmatic survey of Matthew by tracing his theological themes across this particular story of Jesus.
