Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
This commentary, organized by large sections, relates Matthew's concerns in his introduction of Jesus (chapters 1-4) to those in his account of Jesus' ministry (4-16) and of Jesus' passion, death, and resurrection (16-28). Garland (New Testament, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) writes for clergy, informed laity, and students interested in the larger picture of Matthew's gospel based upon close textual reading. For instance, he discusses Matthew's disrupting the genealogical pattern of "X the father of Y" by including, contrary to normal pattern, five women. To Garland, Matthew is especially "narrative about Jesus Messiah, son of God" and was intended to reveal the true nature of the individual. Recommended for seminary, undergraduate, and public libraries.

Product Description
This commentary does not follow the traditional verse-by-verse method. It is concerned rather with understanding large thought units and their relationship to Matthew's thought as a whole. With the focus on the "big picture," rather than the minutiae, Reading Matthew will appeal to the busy pastor, the nonspecialist, the informed lay person, and the college or seminary student. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Breaking new ground, September 3, 2006
By Neal F. Mather (DeWitt, NE United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Garland presents an inciteful literary criticism of Matthew's Gospel. This book is a must for sermon preparation or Bible study. It adds and fits well with my Interpretation commentary series.
