This commentary carefully expounds the original Greek text and theology of the book of Matthew. Dr. Gibbs employs a narrative approach that carefully attends to the literary structure of Matthew’s Gospel. He interprets the text in light of the original cultural and religious context in which Matthew wrote, as well as the audience for whom he wrote. Gibbs focuses on two themes throughout the commentary: Jesus’ identity and the people’s varied response to his identity.
With the Logos edition, you have the unique ability to cross-reference this volume with other commentaries on Matthew, comparing Gibbs’ research and scholarship with that of other commentators, both contemporary and classic.

I appreciate the overview sections Gibbs gives . . . that put pericopes in a larger context. His treatment of how Isaiah 42:1–4 is quoted in Matthew 12:18–21 . . . is very helpful to understanding the work of the Servant in the ‘reign of heaven.’
