This book offers an easy-to-read summary of recent scholarship on the Gospel of Matthew. I wouldn't recommend it for those just getting started with Bible study, but if you want to go a bit deeper, this book and (according to my New Testament professor) anything in the "What Are They Saying?" series from Paulist Press, is a great way to familiarize yourself with the latest academic chatter on a range of topics relating to Scripture. What Are They Saying about Matthew surveys areas of study like the setting and structure of the Gospel, Matthew's attitude toward the Law, Matthew's use of the Old Testament, Christology, and Matthew's view of discipleship and the Church. The chapter on the last topic provides a balanced summary of the perennially hot debate between Catholics and Protestants about Peter's role in the Church.
