Having devoted the past ten years of his life to research for this
major new work, John Nolland gives us a commentary on the Gospel of
Matthew that engages with a notable range of Matthean scholarship
and offers fresh interpretations of the dominant Gospel in the
history of the church.
Without neglecting the Gospel's sources or historical
background, Nolland places his central focus on the content and
method of Matthew's story. His work explores Matthew's narrative
technique and the inner logic of the unfolding text, giving full
weight to the Jewish character of the book and its differences from
Mark's presentation of parallel material. While finding it unlikely
that the apostle Matthew himself composed the book, Nolland does
argue that Matthew's Gospel reflects the historical ministry of
Jesus with considerable accuracy, and he brings to the table new
evidence for an early date of composition.
Including accurate translations based on the latest Greek text,
detailed verse-by-verse comments, thorough bibliographies for each
section, and an array of insightful critical approaches, Nolland's
"Gospel of Matthew" will stimulate students, preachers, and
scholars seeking to understand more fully Matthew's presentation of
the gospel narrative.
