Part of the newly emerging PILLAR commentary series, this volume uncovers the meaning of Matthew's Gospel in eminently straightforward fashion. A perceptive introduction precedes Leon Morris's warm-hearted and thoughtful exposition of Matthew, "the book of the story of Jesus Christ". In order to get at what Matthew actually says, Morris supplies his own literal translation of the text. This commentary on Matthew is particularly valuable for its thoroughness, maturity, and evangelical viewpoint.

Leon Morris (1914-2006) was one of Australia's most prolific Bible scholars. He wrote over forty other books, including commentaries on Matthew, John, and Thessalonians.
