A Private Commentary on the Bible

A thoroughly exegetical and explanatory commentary explaining the meaning and significance of Matthew's Gospel. The book assumes and defends Matthew the Apostle as the author. The exposition is based on the author's literal translation of the Greek text, with notes to identify and explain variations from standard works such as the NKJV, NIV, and HCSB. Textual views are discussed where appropriate. The book has a high view of Scripture as God's inerrant Word, and uses grammatical-historical principles to interpret the text. Section by section and verse by verse the commentary explains who Jesus was and what he did. The book treats Matthew's Gospel as an independent portrait of Christ, but also coordinates with the other Gospels to provide a clear picture of Matthew's view of the life and times of Jesus the Christ. The book takes a dispensational view of Christ's first advent salvific mission and eschatological prophecies, including an explanation for the seeming postponement of the Kingdom. The author writes for any Christian who wants to continue their study of the Bible, for Bible study leaders and teachers, Bible college students, and local church Pastors.
