Overview

Matthew—the visit of the Magi, the Sermon on the Mount, the Great Commission: these are only a few of the well-known passages that draw readers specifically to Matthew's gospel. Yet it begins with a forbidding list of unknown names and apparently irrelevant 'begettings'. In fact, the early church may have placed Matthew first in the New Testament because it more fully than any other Gospel provides a Christian perspective on the relation between the church and the Jews, an issue that is still important today. R. T. France tackles this and other key issues in the Gospel with clarity, reliability and relevance.

Top Highlights

“A secret disciple is no more use in the world than one who has lost his distinctiveness (v. 13” (Page 118)

“Righteousness in Matthew is not so much ‘being good’, still less legal correctness, but rather a synonym for the Christian life, viewed as a relationship with God focused in obedience.” (Page 99)

“Jesus’ universal Lordship now demands a universal mission.” (Page 419)

“The prayer embraces the whole scope of this outworking of God’s purpose, but its focus is not on either present or future, but on God himself, whose glory must be the disciples’ first and deepest concern, before they consider their own needs.” (Page 139)

“Baptizing and ‘teaching’ (v. 20) are participles dependent on the main verb, make disciples; they further specify what is involved in discipleship.” (Page 420)
