概要 ἀνομία is an important keyword in the Gospel according to Matthew. While this word appears only four times (7:23;13:41; 23:28; 24:12), every instance reveals a trace of Matthew’s highly redactional composition. However, it is not clear from the context itself whom Matthew is calling ἀνομία, and attempts have been made to identify the subject of the term. A majority of scholars have claimed that ἀνομία indicates the existence of an antinomian sub-group within the Matthean community, grounded by Matthew’s harsh polemic against his opponents. Other scholars have asserted that ἀνομία does not connote any specific teaching or attitude against the Law, for there is no evidence that Matthew had ever confronted a threat from an antinomian group. Each of these arguments has some legitimacy, so that here we find an exegetical difficulty concerning the target of ἀνομία in Matthew. This study attempts to solve this apparent contradiction through exegetical analysis of the usage of ἀνομία in Matthew to show that his use of this term deeply concerns the Matthean polemical strategy and the purpose of writing his version of the Gospel.
