Matthew: an introduction and commentary

Description

"These commentaries are designed to help the reader of the Bible understand what the text says and what it means. The Introduction to each book gives a concise but thorough treatment of it authorship, date, original setting and purpose. Following a structural Analysis, the Commentary takes the book section by section, drawing out its main themes, and also comments on individual verses and problems of interpretation. Additional Notes provide fuller discussion of particular difficulties. The goal throughout is to explain the true meaning of the Bible and make its message plain."--Back cover.;Matthew among the Gospels -- Some characteristics of Matthew's Gospel -- The origin of the Gospel -- Central theological emphases of Matthew -- The structure of Matthew's Gospel.
