ABSTRACT: This paper explores the Matthean version of
the Triumphant Entry from a Nigerian postcolonial perspective. The methodology used is the exegesis of the passage using a
Reader Response criticism to understand the contextual and typological
contemporary meanings of the passage. The result showed that the colonial harbinger of the gospel message introduced a
colonized gospel that robbed the people of the liberation they ought to
experience through the gospel.
