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.

Matthew Henry's (1662-1714) commentary on the whole Bible remains, to this day, one of the most popular and most beloved devotional commentaries ever produced in English. Charles Spurgeon called his work first among the commentaries, saying it was "trustworthy . . . deeply spiritual, heavenly, profitable; finding good matter in every text . . . suitable to everybody, instructive to all." In this new edition from Ichthus Publications, Matthew Henry's devotional insight into each text of Scripture, along with the practical application he lays out for the reader, is captured in an easy-to-read format using modern type. Here is an unabridged edition that remains faithful to the work of the Puritan extraordinaire who has-and continues-to inspire and encourage countless Christians in their walk of faith. This is a must-have for every student of the Bible who wants a deeper knowledge of God and his word!
