Matthew to Mark (Cecil Sherman Formations Commentary, Vol. 3)

Matthew’s style, we are told, was to pull together in an orderly fashion the teachings of Jesus on a common theme, and then package them tightly and present them to us. Sherman offers twenty–three chapters on Matthew’s gospel, expounding on themes such as Responding to Temptation, How to Pray, Following Jesus, Suffering Servant and A Directive for Mission. Sherman offers sixteen chapters on Mark, covering such topics as repentance, family priorities, denying yourself, being possessed by your possessions, and the role of a servant.
