About
This academic and pastoral commentary on Matthew's Gospel offers a clear, text-driven exposition that highlights the Gospel's literary structure, theology, and deep rootedness in the Jewish world of Jesus. William Varner and David W. Hegg combine decades of scholarship, teaching, and pastoral experience to illuminate Matthew's portrait of Jesus as Israel's Messiah and the Savior of the world.
Building on a careful analysis of Matthew's three-part narrative-Preparation, Proclamation, and Passion-the authors trace the Gospel's development with attention to discourse structure, Old Testament fulfillment, and Matthean priority. The commentary bridges rigorous academic study and accessible explanation, serving both scholars and serious students of Scripture.
More than sixty full-color photographs and maps illustrate the geography of Israel and the material culture of the first century, helping readers visualize the historical and theological world in which the Messiah lived, taught, and fulfilled his divine mission.
