Matthew’s Gospel contains two discernible missionary mandates, where Christ sent His disciples to two different people groups with two evidently distinct messages. The command of Jesus to “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matt. 28:19) is well known and oft repeated by Christians the world over. This missionary mandate has come to be commonly referred to as “the Great Commission.” However, there remains another commission with which the diligent reader of Scripture must come to terms.

Review "In this volume James Fazio wrestles with the puzzling fact that Matthew's Jesus first tells his disciples not to take his message of the kingdom to the Gentiles (10:5) and tells the Canaanite woman that, "I was only sent to the lost sheep" (15:24). Only after his atoning work on the cross does he command the gospel to go to all nations (28:18-20)...Fazio raises important questions that every responsible exegete of the Gospels must engage with. This volume challenged me again to think through these critical issues."Mark Strauss, Professor of New TestamentBethel Seminary, San Diego "James Fazio has produced a brilliantly conceived thesis. While some dispensationalists will not agree with every point in this work, they will acknowledge that Matthew 10 and Matthew 28 are two distinct and different commissions. The commission of Matthew 10 is limited to Israel with a proclamation of the nearness of the kingdom. In Matthew 28 the commission is to go to the world with the message of Christ's completed work on the cross. A very interesting read."Stanley D. Toussaint, Senior Professor EmeritusDallas Theological Seminary"There is a theological fog that rolls in when there is a failure to observe the prominent change that took place part way through Christ's earthly ministry. One of the issues that is affected by this is Christ's commissions to His apostles. James Fazio's book asks important questions and gives reasonable answers to the two commissions given by the Lord. This book will bring clarity to the gospel record as well as the scriptures that follow. Once again, theological ideas must emerge from solid exegesis rather than imposing its will on the biblical text." Paul Benware, Author / Speaker"James Fazio's effort is to be commended for depth of scholarship, devotion to literal, contextual interpretation of texts, and respect toward those who have wrestled theologically with matters of continuity and discontinuity between Israel and the Church. Both covenant theologians and dispensationalists will profit from this thorough management of the two commissions of Jesus Christ." Brian Moulton, Professor of Biblical Studies San Diego Christian College"Theological dialog between Christians of different traditions is very important. James Fazio, has written a book which helpfully highlights some of the key distinctives of Dispensational and Covenant theology. His work is charitable, and even-handed. As a Reformed Pastor, I commend this book as a gracious and open door to theological discussion!" Adriel Sanchez, Pastor North Park Presbyterian Church

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Solid Scholarship By C. Marsh Fazio has brought to light an issue many scholars try to hide from in Matthew's Gospel: Jesus in fact gave two separate commissions to two separate audiences with two separate messages. This book tackles head on a thorny issue that has garnered controversy from both Dispensational and Covenantal camps. With a balanced treatment respecting both theological positions, Fazio manages to apply unbiased exegesis to Matthew's account (with support from Luke's Gospel) to reach the startling, yet true, conclusion that the majority Jesus' earthly ministry had a different goal and message--distinct from what can mistakenly be applied by today's Church--than His post-resurrection ministry. The fact that the author demonstrates this conclusively in just over 100 pages shows his mastery of Biblical exegesis, and his sympathies toward the busy pastor, scholar, and student who will for sure benefit from this book. Outstanding read.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. The thoughtful reading of this excellent book can only benefit proponents of both camps By Thomas A. Rohm Professor Fazio has written a comprehensive yet concise exegetical treatment of the two commissions proclaimed by the Lord Jesus Christ in the gospel of Matthew. To whom were the two commissions given, and what were the contents and purposes of each are complex are debatable subjects amongst dispensational and covenantal theologians. Fazio handles these challenging questions in a straightforward and clear manner that never strays from Scripture. Strategically placed quotes from eminent scholars effectively add a dimension to the writing and aid in understanding. The thoughtful reading of this excellent book can only benefit proponents of both camps, as well as any reader seeking to know more about God and His Word.Thomas A. Rohm, Professor of Biblical LanguagesSouthern California Seminary
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Helpful Resource By David Adams I benefited from the content examined within this book. Prof. Fazio does a thorough job of delineating the real distinctions between different commands of Jesus as seen in the Gospel of Matthew. The emphasis of Christians throughout the centuries has been focused on what we know as the Great Commission, found in Matt. 28:19-20. However, we have often minimized and deemphasized the command of Christ seen in Matt. 10:5-7, where He told the disciples to witness about the kingdom of heaven solely to the Jews. Prof. Fazio meticulously examines the context, background, actual commands, implications, etc. of these clearly unique evangelistic mandates. He frequently participates in significant exegesis, which provides a lot of depth to this work.I benefited from Prof. Fazio's thorough examination of a variety of scholars from a broad range of viewpoints. He obviously sought to interact with the strongest positions he could find, instead of simply attempting to find evidence in his own favor. In my opinion (as a dispensationalist), Prof. Fazio did not draw some of the connections that I believe become apparent regarding the nature of Israel within God's plan. However, I do respect his specific focus in this book, and I do think that it makes his case stronger in a sense. He does not use the distinct mandates as a premise for another argument (although I do believe that would be doctrinally valid), but rather simply seeks to incontrovertibly establish a singular point, namely that there are two distinct missionary mandates within Matthew.In conclusion, I would recommend this book to anyone who is researching this topic or is simply interested in learning more about the ministry and message of Jesus Christ. This book does not make a very broad argument, but within the parameters it sets for itself it makes a very powerful and convincing argument. Prof. Fazio balances readability and rich content to provide a tremendous resource for any student of the Bible.Full disclosure: I am in Prof. Fazio's class, and a thorough review of his book is allowed to substitute for a reading evaluation paper. However, Prof. Fazio himself is not the one grading this submission, and this review is being graded for objectivity and thoroughness. I have no compulsion to agree with him, and my perspective is my own.
