G. Steve Kinnard has written a commentary on Matthew that is scholarly in approach, yet practical in scope. By showing the historical, geographical, economic and cultural background of Matthew, he helps the reader to understand the message of Jesus in the milieu of the First Century.

Once the task of determining the correct meaning is done, Steve helps apply that meaning to our day and our lives. Steve points out that the Gospel of Matthew is bold, clear, inspiring and readable. No wonder the early church placed this Gospel before the others. Reading this book will help you to know Jesus better than ever, as Matthew has the longest portrayal of Jesus. You will see how Jesus is the fulfillment of Old Testament hopes and prophecy and you’ll see clearly that Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah and the King.
