5.0 out of 5 stars Hendriksen on Matthew, August 4, 2000

By	Robert J. Sutherland (Georgia) - See all my reviews

Hendriksen, in my opinion, offers the best of several perspectives in his New Testament Commentaries.

If you are looking for pastoral insights you will benefit from Hendriksen's years as a pastor. His years as a college professor gave him great insight into effective methods of teaching.

His insights into the original languages are tremendous, and he is ingenious at putting hard-to-teach subject matter into understandable terms.

Hendriksen gives his own translation of the Greek. I especially apprecite how he differentiates between singular and plural pronouns in doing so.

For scholarship, personal Bible study, sermon thoughts and astute commentary, I heartily recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Study, September 23, 2002

By	Randy Given (Manchester, CT USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This volume has a ton of useful information. We are studying Matthew in our Sunday School class. Just about every question we come up with is covered in this book -- competently and clearly. Some questions are unanswered by the various study bibles we have (NIV, Life Application, New Geneva, Scofield, etc.) or they might have a sentence or two. However, when I look at this volume by Hendricksen, there are often three or four pages of information! Sure, I wish there had been more information about the missing lineage in the genealogy section, but few people would even know to check it. Otherwise, a great deal of information is provided in a nice format.
