The Gospel of Matthew (New International Commentary On The New Testament Series)

R T France

Hardback 2007-07-11

"It is a special pleasure to introduce R. T. France's commentary to the pastoral and scholarly community, who should find it a truly exceptional and helpful volume." So says Gordon Fee in his preface to this work. France's masterful commentary on Matthew focuses on exegesis of Matthew's text as it stands rather than on the prehistory of the material or details of Synoptic comparison. It is concerned throughout with what Matthew himself meant to convey about Jesus and how he set about doing so within the cultural and historical context of first-century Palestine.

Amid the wide array of Matthew commentaries available today, France's world-class stature, his clear focus on Matthew and Jesus, his careful methodology, and his user-friendly style promise to make this volume an enduring standard for years to come.
