Hidden Gospel Of MatthewRon Miller, of Lake Forest College, retranslated and wrote an extensive commentary on the Gospel of Matthew, entitled The Hidden Gospel of Matthew: Annotated and Explained (2004). Miller finds Matthew to be written about 60 years after the death of Jesus (or Jeshu, as he translates it). By noting the differences between Jeshu's sayings as they are recorded in Mark and in Matthew, Miller decodes the author's agenda and attempts to recover the original meaning of Jeshu's sayings. Miller finds the cherished Christian stories of the virgin birth, the last supper, and the resurrection to be largely "Christian Midrash"—sermons preaching Matthew's agenda—that the Jews are responsible for rejecting Jeshu—to particular Christian groups in the first century. Jeshu is, according to Miller, a mystic who used non-violent resistance extensively.
