In this volume, Donald Senior provides an up-to-date introduction to the Gospel of Matthew.

The seven chapters of Part One focus on modern biblical scholarship and the interpretation of Matthew, discussing the sources and structure of the Gospel, its use of the Old Testament, its understanding of Jewish Law, its setting as a part of the mission of Christianity to the Gentiles, its Christology, its understanding of the nature of discipleship, and the community from which the Gospel originated.

The six chapters of Part Two provide a structured guide to reading and interpreting Matthew's Gospel.
