The original audience for the Gospel of Matthew included
converts from Judaism who wrestled with how to be faithful to Jesus
Christ under difficult circumstances in a changing world. The
Gospel of Matthew became a first-aid manual for this church in the
midst of a struggle.
Thomas Long identifies this first audience and its faith within
the social and religious context of the day and clarifies the
structure of the Gospel. Providing examples of contemporary
relevance, Long helps today's reader discern the significance of
this guide for faithful living in today's church.
Books in the Westminster Bible Companion series assist laity in
their study of the Bible as a guide to Christian faith and
practice. Each volume explains the biblical book in its original
historical context and explores its significance for faithful
living today. These books are ideal for individual study and for
Bible study classes and groups.
