Purchase options and add-ons

Having devoted the past ten years of his life to research for this major new work, John Nolland gives us a commentary on the Gospel of Matthew that engages with a notable range of Matthean scholarship and offers fresh interpretations of the dominant Gospel in the history of the church.

Without neglecting the Gospel's sources or historical background, Nolland places his central focus on the content and method of Matthew's story. His work explores Matthew's narrative technique and the inner logic of the unfolding text, giving full weight to the Jewish character of the book and its differences from Mark's presentation of parallel material. While finding it unlikely that the apostle Matthew himself composed the book, Nolland does argue that Matthew's Gospel reflects the historical ministry of Jesus with considerable accuracy, and he brings to the table new evidence for an early date of composition.

Including accurate translations based on the latest Greek text, detailed verse-by-verse comments, thorough bibliographies for each section, and an array of insightful critical approaches, Nolland's Gospel of Matthew will stimulate students, preachers, and scholars seeking to understand more fully Matthew's presentation of the gospel narrative.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Theological Book Review
"Although some may be daunted, or perhaps even wearied, by the appearance of another massive work on the Gospel of Matthew, readers will be pleasantly surprised that Nolland manages to balance exegetical detail with theological perspective which has resulted in a usable and well documented commentary."

Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society
"A refreshingly clear and accessible contribution that depicts the fruit of very careful, learned, and reasoned scholarship at its finest."

Religious Studies Review
"Enormously learned, exhaustive in its detailed textual, literary, redaction- and source-critical comments and bibliographical material, and interesting, useful, and accessible to a wide range of readers."

Excellent literal translation and detailed commentary

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 17, 2023

Verified Purchase

Although I approach the text from a more progressive scholarly view, this is an excellent conservative commentary on Matthew. It reminds me of C.E.B. Cranfield's Cambridge Greek Testament commentary on St Mark, a classic standard on Mark. Nolland will likely become my go-to foundational commentary on Matthew. I deeply appreciative of his thorough scholarship and insight.

Alot of Greek and thats why it is awesome.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 31, 2016

Firstly, I'd like to answer a sharp criticism by one previous reviewer on the this commentary since they criticized this work for the very reasons of why it was initially produced. This tome has previously been criticized by a reviewer as being somehow way too extensive and meticulous in its notes on the Greek. Why is this such an issue? To be honest, there are barely enough commentaries that touch upon the Greek so extensively as this one.To criticize this text for being elaborous upon details of Greek is to ignore the fact that there already is a massive market of watered down commentaries that do not, and if so, VERY superficially, touch upon Greek. This is not one of those commentaries that merely spoon feeds you the meaning of the text, as most commentaries do, thereby replacing the Holy Spirit INSTEAD of merely being an aid to The Spirit. This is a text, due to it's meticulous grinding on the Greek, can be used by the Holy Spirit to get you to think deeply about what you are reading. It is quite a sore, that the only commentaries of this kind happen to be, either outdated and no-longer in publish. (Like Alford, Lenski, etc.) And furthermore, it is even more of a sore, that a rare breed of commentaries, as this one is (due to extensive tuggles with the greek) are criticized for what makes them unique.

This therefore is not a commentary for preachers who busy themselves too much to even make The Word a priority in their ministry and are looking for a "quick fix" to sermonize on, but to those who love to delve deep into the text on a mature level and meditate on what it might be said. In others words, this is for those who avidly study and research WHY a verse would be translated a certain way. It is a researchers commentary. If one wants to merely get "quick answers" and a basic understanding of the text, there is an overwhelmingly amount of exegetical commentaries that already do so, even touching upon the greek very lightly. Or if one wants brief outlining of what the text says and means, there seems to already be a huge market for that, I ask why advocate for another?

Either way, it is quite a work. And certainly there must be some who appreciate such an exhaustive composition upon the greek text itself (as the title of the series indicates), contributing to a rare breed of commentaries that help you engage with the text and come to your own conclusion, instead of merely prescribing you what you "should believe" about the text.

This tome, and this series in general, seems to market with the purpose of heavy philology - which makes it unique among the mass market of commentary series. It serves quite a purpose and it's nature shows it is not intended for everyone and therefore you will get some to bash it for what it is not intended to be and for whom it is not intended to be for. (For the amount of Greek covered, one can assume that this series, and particularly this commentary, is not intended for just anyone but those who dig strenuously deep into what they read - and yes that means dissecting every strand of greek.)

Overall 4 stars. Solid exegetical work. It would be awesome to have another series like this, and perhaps one also for the Old Testament. (Since Deilitzche, is outdated, but still very useful.) It is a shame that some give it a mediocre rating because it accomplishes exactly what it was intended to accomplish.

A Decent Commentary (3.5 stars, since there was no option for it, I put 4)

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 23, 2006

Verified Purchase

There are many good things about this commentary. Nolland has a huge bibliography for anyone interested in further reading and research on Matthew. He provides a good deal of historical background that is helpful to understanding Matthew. But, the most beneficial part of the commentary to me was the literary structures (mainly the chiastic structures) that he would point out that seem to pervade Matthew. The book as a whole seems to be chiastic:

A. Introduction
B. First Discouse (Sermon on the Mount)
C. Teaching/Healing
D. Second Discourse
E. Teaching/Healing
F. Third Discourse (Parables)
E'. Teaching/Healing
D'. Fourth Discourse
C'. Teaching/Healing
B'. Fifth Discourse (Olivet Discourse)
A'. Conclusion

This can be scrutinized, of course, but generally it seems to work.

The one big detraction of the book was the text, source, and redaction critical approach that it seemed to take and Matthew's supposed interaction with Q. If you can get around that, then there are still some great insights that can be gleaned from this commentary.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 22, 2007

Verified Purchase

This hefty and rather expensive commentary on the Gospel of Matthew definitely has its merits, but it also manifests some of the same shortcomings one finds in other modern commentaries on the First Gospel.

On the positive side, the reader will note immediately that Nolland's treatment of the Greek text is indeed thorough and masterful. His book is an up-to-date resource that takes into account all the textual and lexical study that has enriched our understanding of Matthew over the past 75 years. Furthermore, because Nolland pays close attention to the sequence of thought within the gospel, a reader seeking to understand how a particular passage relates to its wider context will find this commentary very helpful.

A conservative or traditionalist reader, however, will be disappointed with this book on two counts. First, Nolland's assumption of Markan priority among the Gospels -- and of Matthew's literary dependence on Mark -- sometimes mars his exegesis of certain pericopes. The reader thus finds himself working through explanations of how Matthew altered Mark's account by rearranging material and drawing on additional sources to enrich his own telling of the story. For a preacher concerned with presenting Matthew's Gospel on its own terms, this kind of discussion is less than helpful. Second, Nolland sometimes leaves one with the impression that Matthew's depiction of Christ is perhaps more theologically instructive than historically accurate. Does the evangelist show us the "real" Jesus, or merely a "theologized" figure of his own creation? In both these respects, Nolland's book is, unfortunately, very much like the already numerous commentaries that apply the usual methods of source/redaction criticism to the First Gospel.

Anyone interested in building a collection of erudite and reliable commentaries on the Greek text of Matthew should consider buying this volume. Others -- and especially more traditional/conservative readers -- will be happier with the most recent works on Matthew by R. T. France (Eerdmans, 2007) and Jeffrey A. Gibbs (Concordia, 2007).

A must for understanding the Kingdom of God and Jesus central message

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 2, 2017

Verified Purchase

Matthew is the most important book in the Bible for understanding the 'Kingdom of God', Jesus's central message. It is vital that Christians understand this book, and this commentary is an invaluable tool to oppening up this book. It requires a working knowledge of New Testament Greek, but I would not want to be without thisw commentary. A must buy. Andrew Tonks

I am a quarter of the way through. It is a solid commentary. My biggest problem is that it is to be a commentary on the Greek text. In comparison to two other commentaries I have used in this series (Luke and Revelation), I find it is 'weak' in focusing on the Greek text. There are times when it seems to read as if it is not a commentary on the Greek text. If you allow for this, it is still a solid commentary.
