Matthew Volume 1 (Chapters 1-13): A Mentor Commentary

Mentor Commentary

by Knox Chamblin

Matthew's Gospel is the first document in the New Testament - a suitable location considering some scholars' opinions (for example, Theodor Zahn and Ernest Renan) that it is the pre-eminent piece of literature in antiquity.
What sort of book is it? Who is its author, and why did he write it? What historical, literary and theological contexts influence it? Matthew's Gospel also tells a story of Jesus, the son of David the son of Abraham - accordingly it gives attention to characters, plot lines, conflicts and resolution - but the extra dimension is that it also has an effect upon its reader to direct them to the Saviour of the world.

This is one of the top three commentaries I have read on Matthew. I love how the author weaves in the Greek and does not chase bunnies, instead he gets right at the heart of the text. I wish I had purchased this set sooner so I could have used it for the Sermon on the Mount. So good. Highest recommendation


Note the Greek being used does not make this unusable for those who don’t know Greek, since he defines and transliterates all the Greek words. This is a great commentary. Go get it!
