The series Beihefte zur Zeitschrift für die neutestamentliche Wissenschaft (BZNW) is one of the oldest and most highly regarded international scholarly book series in the field of New Testament studies. Since 1923 it has been a forum for seminal works focusing on Early Christianity and related fields. The series is grounded in a historical-critical approach and also explores new methodological approaches that advance our understanding of the New Testament and its world.

This book explores the important subject of apocalyptic eschatology in the Gospel of Matthew. It focuses on major themes, such as Matthew's relationship to 1 Enoch, the fate of wicked Christians, the problem of eschatological violence in this Gospel, and the notion of avenging angels who eternally torture the wicked and the nature of their punishments.
