divided between the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament starts the book off because it was the time before Christ. Being that the Old Testament was before Christ, it consisted of the prediction of the Messiah, and the laws of the Lord being presented and carried through from chosen people.

beginning of the New Testament is like the beginning of a “new world” because the historical, societal and cultural background has changed a lot since the Old Testament.

Detractors have lobbed fiery darts at this formula, claiming that it displays bias and inaccuracy. This, however, comes from a misunderstanding of what Matthew is attempting to portray to his audience. Jewish Hellenists were the likely audience that Matthew had in mind when he wrote his account.
