This is another volume in the series of Bible Commentaries of Matthew Henry. In this Volume, the entire text of the Gospel of Matthew is commented with notes of each chapter. This Commentary will help you better understand the God's word! Churches, theological seminaries and Bible schools will find an excellent aid in this biblical commentary on the Gospel of Matthew.

Matthew’s Gospel makes mention of prophets and prophecy more than any other canonical Gospel. Yet its perspective on prophecy has generally been neglected within biblical scholarship when, in fact, Jesus’ prophetic vocation is a central christological theme for Matthew. This new study by Matthew Anslow seeks to draw attention to this underdeveloped focus within Matthean studies. The central claim of the book is that in Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus’ prophetic vocation is presented as a multi-faceted phenomenon, drawing on several prophetic traditions. Like biblical and popular prophets before him, Jesus is depicted by Matthew as calling Israel back to covenantal faithfulness, thereby providing guidance for the identity, theology, and communal life of God’s people.

The message of the book of Matthew is that Jesus is the promised Messiah, the King of kings. In Part 1 of Matthew (chapters 1-7) we are introduced to Jesus through his genealogy, his birth narrative, and his teaching. Immediately we see the humble people he calls. His narrative includes the humblest of people. His birth narrative calls the humble shepherds. His teaching calls for people to be "poor in spirit." Throughout we learn that though Jesus is the King of all kings, he invites poor sinners to come to him. The Proclaim Commentary series brings expositional insight and practical application to every day life. It is written not only for pastors, teachers, and leaders, but also for families, students, or anyone desiring to explore the riches of God's Word.

The eleventh book in this series, this text focuses on textual comments and believer edification of the gospel of Matthew. Although the text isn't focused on textual research of a theological exegesis, the commentary does try to bring the ideas and assertions made by the disciple Matthew in the days of the Messiah Jesus Christ in the nation of Israel. This book is handy for anyone who wants to read into commentary history as well as to get a good solid look at how the texts of Matthew apply to our lives.

Every serious student of the Bible desires to understand the text, discover the biblical principles, and apply the truths to his/her life. This commentary is designed to help students, pastors, and Bible teachers understand Matthew in a simple manner. Working from the popular New International Version (NIV), the author provides helpful commentary on the text verse-by-verse. This verse-by-verse commentary is different from others in two respects. First, it is brief while some commentaries are unnecessarily wordy and verbose. Second, it is Pentecostal in outlook. This implies that we generally adhere to the doctrine of biblical inerrancy and adopt a literalist approach to the interpretation of the Bible. The Gospel of Matthew is placed first in the New Testament. It is a teaching Gospel. It is the natural gateway to the New Testament with a strong connection to the Old Testament.
