Matthew

Scholarly insights with a pastoral heart for all the books of the New Testament.

"Scot McKnight is one of my absolute favorite New Testament scholars and his Everyday Bible Study series is akin to Einstein creating a user-friendly version of the Theory of Relativity!"—Lisa Harper, award-winning author and Bible teacher

Matthew's Gospel tells the story of Jesus as the Messiah who is righteous, who called his followers to enter into his kingdom, and who sends out his disciples to extend the mission of justice and righteousness to others. Exploring the links between the time these words were written and our own times, Scot McKnight uncovers the enduring relevance and importance of Matthew's Gospel for our lives today.

In the New Testament Everyday Bible Study Series, widely respected biblical scholar Scot McKnight combines interpretive insights with pastoral wisdom for all the books of the New Testament. Each volume provides:

• Original Meaning. Brief, precise expositions of the biblical text and offers a clear focus for the central message of each passage.
• Fresh Interpretation. Brings the passage alive with fresh images and what it means to follow King Jesus.
• Practical Application. Biblical connections and questions for reflection and application for each passage.

The NIV is used as the primary Bible text, but McKnight also includes insights from his own translation of the entire New Testament. Each Bible study features a short, compact, clear exposition that both summarizes the whole and gives the reader a clear focus for what is central to the passage.
