Matthew brings the stimulating insights of one of today's most exciting theologians to the first Gospel. This commentary, like each in the series, is designed to serve the church--through aid in preaching, teaching, study groups, and so forth-and demonstrate the continuing intellectual and practical viability of theological interpretation of the Bible. Figures of the classical church such as Augustine, Calvin, Luther, and Wesley interpreted the Bible theologically, believing Scripture as a whole witnessed to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Modern interpreters of the Bible questioned this premise. But, in recent decades, a critical mass of theologians and biblical scholars has begun to reassert the priority of a theological reading of Scripture. The "SCM Theological Commentary" series enlists leading theologians to read and interpret Scripture for the twenty-first century, just as the church fathers, the Reformers, and other orthodox Christians did for their times and places.

This is a commentary that is inciteful and useful for preaching. It draws connections between Matthew and the other books of scripture, showing how the Bible assists in interpreting itself. This commentary does not engage in historical-critical analysis, instead seeking to discern how the Gospel of Matthew forms Christian who confess the orthodox/Nicene faith. I find this refreshing, as I have plenty of other commentaries that will question the validity of an individual verse without shedding any light on how to read the passage as a whole. This commentary assists pastors in reading the Bible, and reading it well.
I would recommend this to any pastor whose tradition uses the historic creeds of the church (Nicene and Apostles).
