This volume in the New International Biblical Commentary series draws on the best traditional and contemporary scholarship in an informed, balanced way. Dr. Mounce shows how Matthew's five major teaching blocks simultaneously gave the growing early church a compendium of Jesus sayings and demonstrated how he fulfilled messianic prophecies. Technical and textual notes are kept separate from Mounces clear, section-by-section exposition. This volume, originally part of the Good News Commentary, is now completely revised and reset in the NIV.
