With the focus on the "big picture", rather than the minutiae, Reading Matthew will appeal to the busy pastor, the nonspecialist, the informed lay person, and the college or seminary student.

Seller's Description:
Near Fine. DJ Near Fine. Large Octavo. From the Library Journal review: Garland (New Testament, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) writes for clergy, informed laity, and students interested in the larger picture of Matthew's gospel based upon close textual reading. For instance, he discusses Matthew's disrupting the genealogical pattern of "X the father of Y" by including, contrary to normal pattern, five women. To Garland, Matthew is especially "narrative about Jesus Messiah, son of God" and was intended to reveal the true nature of the individual. 269pp.
