Behold the King: A Study of Matthew

by Stanley D. Toussaint

This insightful study of the first book of the New Testament is not simply a verse-by-verse commentary, but a careful study of the thematic purpose and flow of thought of Matthew. Bible students, teachers, and pastors will appreciate the historical-grammatical hermeneutic applied to the Greek text, but Greek proficiency is not required to benefit from this work. Toussaint's major contribution is developing and tracing through the Gospel the twin themes of Jesus the Messiah and God's kingdom program.

One of the best commentaries on the book of Matthew out there. Read this for my course in school and it was a really great resource.

Loved his commentary on the Sermon of the Mount he really made it practical to understand and presented the popular interpretations in regards to that sermon.

Excellent commentary but very dry. Amazingly thorough but just not my cup of tea.

This is a very helpful resource for any level of study of Matthew’s Gospel. Walks verse by verse.
Some sections could have been longer and more helpful.

Really helped me understand this gospel more and all the intention Matthew puts into his writing.
