Biblical commentator George Martin has dedicated his career to showing Catholics how to read Scripture as the word of God. His easy to understand, verse-by-verse exposition of the Gospel of Matthew helps readers grasp not only the author’s original meaning, but also what God is saying to his people today. This book features: Background sections, with fascinating details relating to the history, geography, and culture of Palestine, along with definitions of the root meaning words used by Matthew; References to and quotations of parallel passages in the Old and New Testaments; Reflection questions that provide opportunities to pray over Matthew’s words and apply his teaching to our lives.The author’s writing is sound and well-researched, but popular rather than academic, so it enables readers to study and pray through Matthew at the same time.
