Hermann L. Strack and Paul Billerbeck's Commentary on the New Testament from the Talmud and Midrash is an important reference work for illustrating the concepts, theological background, and cultural assumptions of the New Testament. The commentary walks through each New Testament book verse by verse, referencing potentially illuminating passages from the Talmud and Midrash and providing easy access to the rich textual world of rabbinic material.

Volume 1 comments on the Gospel of Matthew.

Originally published between 1922 and 1928 as Kommentar zum Neuen Testament aus Talmud und Midrasch, Strack and Billerbeck's commentary has been unavailable in English until now.

Industry Reviews

To understand the New Testament, we can go to this rich compendium of sources [...] to provide a broader context for our exegetical inquiries. I hope it will be widely used and stimulate fresh discussions of the Jewish traditions it collects.

--Richard Bauckham, emeritus professor of New Testament, St Andrews University, Scotland


Everyone interested in the Jewish context of New Testament literature will welcome the appearance of the English translation of Strack and Billerbeck's classic commentary that provides myriads of parallels with rabbinic literature.

--Craig A. Evans, John Bisagno Distinguished Professor of Christian Origins, Houston Baptist University


What a tremendous service to the academic community for providing an English translation of this multifaceted, rich, and deeply learned resource!

--Chris Tilling, head of research and senior lecturer in New Testament studies, St Mellitus College, England


I have long wished for an English translation of Strack-Billerbeck. [...] Many, many thanks to Lexham for completing a project a long time in the works.

--Craig L. Blomberg, Distinguished Professor of New Testament, Denver Seminary
