The concept of faith holds a central position in New Testament and early Christian thought, yet this concept has not received the careful attention it deserves in the Synoptic Gospels. The present study offers a comprehensive analysis of faith as a key motif in the Gospel of Matthew, where it plays a major role in communicating this Gospels vision for how readers should respond to the person and message of Jesus. The argument propounded is that Matthews unique narrative portrayal of the Canaanite womans faith (15:21-28) is used for pedagogical purposes, namely, that by comparing and contrasting her great faith with those characters expressing no faith and little faith, Matthew uses Jesuss quantitative p?st-terms to teach on the nature of true faith. She embodies Matthews theological vision of faith! Even though she is a gentile outsider/enemy, she comprehends the universal scope and abundant blessings of Jesuss mission. Moreover, she acknowledges Jesuss messianic identity, correctly perceiving him to be both Davids royal heir and Davids Lord. Finally, based on who she perceives Jesus to be and the purpose of his mission, she demonstrates faith as trust manifested in action.
