The Gospel of Matthew: A Reading Companion (Biblical Reading Companions)($16.99Value)

Description

The Gospel of Matthew is the great teaching Gospel, written for readers steeped in Hebrew Scripture and built around the major discourses, including the Sermon on the Mount. It presents Jesus as the promised Messiah who fulfills what came before. This reading companion is built to help you follow that argument while seeing what lies beneath it. Each chapter sets the full text, in the public-domain World English Bible translation, alongside a clear introduction, the historical and cultural background you need, theological reflection that takes the text seriously, and connections to the wider arc of Scripture. Nothing stands between you and the source. The help sits next to the text, not in place of it. Whether you have read Matthew many times, are returning to it after years away, or are opening it for the first time out of curiosity, this companion treats the Gospel as a coherent whole rather than a string of verses, and walks alongside you as you read.
