Presented by an international team of Catholic biblical scholars,
Sacra Pagina is a fresh series of translations and expositions of
the books of the New Testament. The volumes provide basic
information as well as sound, critical analysis in a highly
readable manner -- yet remain sensitive to religious meaning. Each
author has adopted a specific methodology while focusing on the
issues raised by the New Testament compositions themselves. The
expression "Sacra Pagina" ("Sacred Page") refers to the text of
Scripture. In the Middle Ages it also described the study of
Scripture to which the interpreter brought the tools of grammar,
rhetoric, dialectic, and philosophy. Thus, Sacra Pagina encompasses
both the text and the act of interpretation.
The "very soul of sacred theology" (Dei Verbum 24). That's how
the Second Vatican Council described the study of the "sacred
page". These volumes open up the riches of the New Testament and
invite all Christians to study seriously the "sacred page".
Matthew wrote his Gospel from his perspective as a Jew. It is
with sensitivity to this perspective that Father Harrington
undertakes this commentary on the Gospel of Matthew.
