Robert Horton Gundry is an American New Testament scholar and Westmont College's Scholar-in-Residence. He received his Ph.D. from Manchester University in 1961 and taught for several decades at Westmont College in California. In 1982 he published Matthew: A Commentary on His Literary and Theological Art analyzing the Gospel of Matthew. Gundry used redaction criticism in his work. He thus argued that Matthew adapted the story of Jesus to appeal to the intended audience. Especially problematic was Gundry's assertion that Matthew made ahistorical additions to the infancy story in Matthew 1 and 2.
