Matthew: A Commentary, vol. 1

Recognized as a masterly commentary when information technology start appeared, Frederick Dale Bruner'south written report of Matthew is now available every bit a greatly revised and expanded 2-volume piece of work—the result of seven years of careful refinement, enrichment, and updating.

Through this commentary, crafted especially for teachers, pastors, and Bible students, Bruner aims "to help God's people love what Matthew's Gospel says." Bruner'southward work is at once broadly historical and deeply theological. Information technology is historical in drawing extensively on great church teachers through the centuries and on the classical Christian creeds and confessions. It is theological in that it unpacks the doctrines in each passage, chapter, and department of the Gospel. Consciously attempting to bridge by and present, Bruner asks both what Matthew'due south Gospel said to its kickoff hearers and what it says to readers today. As a outcome, his commentary is profoundly relevant to contemporary congregations and to those who guide them.

Bruner'due south commentary is replete with lively, verse-by-verse discussion of Matthew'southward text. While each chapter expounds a specific topic or doctrine, the book'due south format consists of a vivid, original translation of the text followed past true-blue exegesis and critical analysis, a survey of historical commentary on the text, and electric current applications of the text or theme under study. In this revision Bruner continues to draw on the best in modernistic scholarship—including recent piece of work by West. D. Davies and Dale C. Allison Jr., by Ulrich Luz, and past many others—adding new voices to the reading of Matthew. At the same time he cites the classic commentaries of Chrysostom, Jerome, Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Bengel, and the rest, who, similar Bruner himself, were non simply doctrinal teachers just also careful exegetes of Scripture. Such latitude and depth of learning assure that Bruner's Matthew volition remain, as a reviewer for Interpretation wrote, "the almost dog-eared commentary on the shelf."

Volume 1 of Bruner's commentary is called The Christbook because the showtime 12 chapters of Matthew are focused on the nature and work of Christ. Every bit Bruner proceeds through these chapters, he shows how Matthew presents, step by step, central themes of Christology: Jesus' coming (chapters 1–4), his education (five–7), his miracles (8–9), his sermon on mission (ten), and his person (eleven–12). Throughout the book there are as well thoughtful discussions of significant topics such as baptism, marriage, Jewish-Christian relations, and heaven and hell.

Eminently readable, rich in biblical insight, and ecumenical in tone, Bruner's two-volume commentary on Matthew now stands among the best in the field.

Oftentimes Bruner's expositions are then rehearsed that the preacher will be tempted to elevator them whole into the sermon, for they bring the biblical message explicitly into the life of the congregation.

—Dialog

An excitingly readable and innovative commentary on Matthew by one of America's master Bible teachers.

—Samuel Hugh Moffett, professor emeritus, Princeton Theological Seminary

The value of Bruner's piece of work is that what he is doing is so desperately needed and and then rarely washed at the level of composure reflected in his two volumes.

—Perspectives in Religious Studies

This is a applied commentary for preachers and teachers in congregations . . . Marvelously successful.

Book ii of Bruner's commentary is called The Churchbook because Bruner sees Matthew 13–28 equally concerned primarily with the life of the church and discipleship. Continuing his showtime book (Christbook) exposition, Bruner shows here how the focus of Matthew shifts, from Jesus education about who he is to teaching mainly well-nigh what his church building is. Bruner'due south Churchbook commentary divides the second half of Matthew according to its major ecclesiological themes: the church's religion (chapters 13–17), the church'due south love (18–20), the church's history (21–23), the church'southward hope (24–25), and the church building'due south passion (26–28).

Eminently readable, rich in biblical insight, and ecumenical in tone, Bruner'due south 2-book commentary on Matthew now stands amid the best in the field.

This is the kind of commentary that I most desire—a theological wrestling with Scripture. Frederick Dale Bruner grapples with the text not only equally a technical exegete (although he also does that very well) but as a church building theologian, caring passionately about what these words tell u.s.a. about God and ourselves. Here he places his considerable pedagogy gifts at the service of the Christian community, caring equally much about u.s.a. every bit he cares about the text. His Matthew commentary is in the one thousand traditions of Augustine, Calvin, and Luther—expansive and leisurely, loving the text, the people in information technology, and the Christians who read it.

—Eugene H. Peterson, emeritus professor of spiritual theology, Regent College

It is hard to think of another commentary that is more fruitful in terms of stimulating the kind of thinking virtually the meaning of the text that is the prerequisite for good preaching and teaching.

—Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society

A hugely stimulating read . . . holds the reader's attention meliorate than many commentaries. Emphases on mission and formation of Christian character also brand this an of import and valuable contribution to scholarship on Matthew's Gospel.

—Themelios

Bruner is concerned with Christian germination, with the daily job of living faithfully inside today'south church. His applications of the Gospel of Matthew and his frequent excursions into contemporary dilemmas for the church, such as church-country relations, wedlock, liberation theology, feminism, and war, provide many stimulating insights for contemporary Christians.

Heralded every bit "an epoch-making volume" by F. F. Bruce when it start appeared, Robert H. Gundry's commentary on the Gospel of Matthew stands as a benchmark in biblical scholarship and modern methodology. No commentary in recent history has sparked such passionate discussion amongst evangelical scholars, and scholars of other persuasions have likewise paid considerable attentions to this work.

In response to the plethora of evaluations afforded this text since its publication in 1982, Gundry has issued this second edition. Included are an extensive new preface taking up criticisms that reviewers and other readers lodged against the first edition, a new appendix, and 225 new endnotes that expanded the commentary and provide fresh reflections on the text.

This assuming, well-informed written report retains the redaction-critical methodology of Gundry'southward original piece of work and the host of provocative interpretations that result. Elucidated afresh are Gundry's conviction that Matthew relied on the Gospel of Mark and the certificate "Q" and Gundry's arguments for a combination of historical information and theological embellishments in passages such as those that present the nascence of Jesus, the Sermon on the Mount and Peter's walking on the water. The new preface offers expanded evidence that Jewish literary tradition was concerned more than with theological development that with historical exactitude.

Gundry's Matthew now provides non merely truly engrossing biblical scholarship but too an excellent case of effective professional dialogue between academicians, Students, pastors, and theologians will find here a wealth of scrupulous hermeneutical research and thought-provoking answers to many open questions in textual studies.

A remarkable commentary on Matthew.

Ian Levy, Philip Krey, and Thomas Ryan's Letter of the alphabet to the Romans presents the history of early and medieval interpretations of Romans and gives substantial translations of select medieval commentaries. Written by eight representative medieval interpreters between the ninth and fourteenth centuries, these commentaries have never been translated into English earlier.

This valuable book volition enhance contemporary reading of the Bible fifty-fifty as information technology lends insight into medieval scholarship. Equally Levy says, the medieval commentaries showroom "qualities that many modern commentaries lack: a spiritual depth that reflects their very purpose, namely, to read Holy Scripture inside the sacred tradition under the guidance of the Holy Spirit."

A judicious selection of medieval Latin commentaries on the Epistle to the Romans. . . . Will be especially illuminating to readers interested in the history of exegesis who practise not have much background in medieval theology, for whom the interpretations may exist surprisingly rich and sophisticated. A denoting preface places the texts in helpful historical, theological, and literary contexts. Levy, Krey, and Ryan deserve our thank you for making these texts available to students of the Bible at all levels, from undergraduates to professors.

—E. Ann Thing, William R. Kenan, Jr. professor of religious studies, Academy of Pennsylvania

This volume is a labor of beloved and a souvenir given by three of the world's leading interpreters and translators of medieval biblical exegesis. . . . The chronological span taken on is breathtaking, with translations from late antiquity to the dawn of the Reformation. . . . This work altogether successfully defies the stereotype that medieval interpretation was simply parasitic upon patristic exegesis. It will be extremely valuable as a teaching tool.

—Kevin Madigan, Winn Professor of Ecclesiastical History and acquaintance dean for faculty and bookish affairs, Harvard Divinity Schoolhouse

This intelligently presented book is a model not but in its selection of texts but also for its readable (and learned) introductions and notes. The smashing interest in Romans over the centuries explains why Paul'due south alphabetic character is a classic: it provides a surplus of meaning both in the by and in the present twenty-four hour period.

This theological commentary on 1 & 2 Timothy and Titus past Robert Wall powerfully demonstrates the ongoing relevance and authority of the Pastoral Epistles for the church building today. Wall uniquely employs an apostolic "Rule of Religion" methodology for interpreting these texts as sacred Scripture. Iii successive historical case studies by Richard Steele vividly instantiate key themes of the Pastorals. This innovative nonetheless reverent volume will help revive the interest of students, pastors, and other Christian leaders in the Pastoral Epistles.

I commend Rob Wall for offer us, and the wider church building, his approved readings of the Pastoral Epistles. Rob does not shy away from the many tough passages in these letters, ever trying to nowadays what he sees every bit the "apparently sense" of the text in relation to other historical, ecclesial, and cultural understandings. The combination of commentary and reading past the 'rule of religion'—supplemented by three interesting example studies—provides a thorough canonical understanding of these crucial letters from the standpoint of one who is immersed in what it means to understand the Bible every bit the church'due south volume.

Those of us who are long-standing admirers of Rob Wall'due south work will recognize that the Pastoral Epistles, with all of their critical baggage, provide the perfect backdrop for his approved approach to Scripture. Wall never shrinks back from crucial questions. Nonetheless, he carefully and confidently interprets the Pastorals as full members of the canon. His readings are theologically apt and lively, shaped and regulated past the church's faith.
