Synopsis

"The Gospel of Matthew", part of a series of daily study readings of the "New Daily Study Bible", incorporates the kind of language that is more appropriate for 21st century readers. The language has been updated to make the essence of Barclay's work accessible to new readers, as well as those who already enjoy his commentaries. Quotations are now taken from the New Revised Standard Version (Anglicized edition) and archaic references have been either omitted or explained. The commentary also offers explanations of contexts, sources of quotations and other details.

Présentation de l'éditeur

And he said to them, 'Follow me'. When Jesus called upon Matthew, as he sat in his office where he collected customs duty, Matthew got up and followed him and left everything behind him except one thing - his pen. Matthew was to become the great chronicler of Christ's life and teachings and, though it is now widely accepted that he did not write the gospel itself, the influence of Matthew's record is undeniably felt throughout. This first volume of William Barclay's thoughtful study of the Gospel of Matthew brings startling insights into Jesus' early life and teaching. Journey with Barclay and re-discover the baptism of Jesus, the Sermon on the Mount and the challenges of discipleship.
