The MacArthur Study Guide Series continues to be one of the best selling study guide series on the market today. These brand-new releases will join the ranks of the previously released and repackaged study guides, offering readers a complete selection of New Testament Bible studies by best-selling author and theologian John MacArthur. For small group or individual use, intriguing questions and new material take the participant deeper into God's Word.
John F. MacArthur, Jr. was a United States Calvinistic evangelical writer and minister, noted for his radio program entitled Grace to You and as the editor of the Gold Medallion Book Award-winning MacArthur Study Bible. MacArthur was a fifth-generation pastor, a popular author and conference speaker, and served as pastor-teacher of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California beginning in 1969, as well as President of The Master’s College (and the related Master’s Seminary) in Santa Clarita, California.
I love John MacArthurs work, have read quite a few of his books, and continuously read these Bible studies with my wife. I enjoy the other Bible studies a lot, and this was a good Bible study, but the choice to make one Bible study book, with twelve chapters, for all of Matthew, I found to be too much reading per session. With this I don't mean that I don't like to read, but that it was almost impossible to get an in-depth understanding of Matthew's gospel. While these Bible study are nowhere as detailed as John's sermons, I would have preferred if the Bible study would have been made into two books, so that every session would have been basically one chapter.
So all in all, a good book which I enjoyed, but wished it had been less of an overview and slightly more in-depth (as most other Bible study books by MacArthur are).
MATTHEW - The Coming of the King ~ MacArthur Bible Studies
⭐⭐⭐ 3/5
Study on the book of Mathew. Questions after each chapter and lots of study notes to make sense of the text. I feel this study could have been better in the sense that the chapters were looking at big portions of scripture from Matthew and most of the text was not a part of the following questions. I feel if he had kept it like he did with the book of Daniel, one study on each chapter then I would have learned more.
Saying all that as usual the study notes were excellent and if anything you read the entire book of Matthew so it can't be bad. Perhaps this is a better study book for someone new to the faith and doesn't know too much then I can see this particular study having a more meaningful impact.
Matthew: The Coming of a King is a study guide taking you through the entire book of Matthew. It includes the scripture with study notes and discussion questions.
I loved this study guide and did it with a group of small women. It took us over two years to go through and I loved every moment of it. We went deeper then I could have imagined. I learned so much and I can't wait to get more of MacArthur's study guides for the other new testament books.
One of the few Bible study guides that I found useful. Included substantive questions directly linked to the text, not "fluff" questions or unrelated questions. Only drawback is that the text included in the guide is from the KJV, which I don't use.
Me ha ayudado mucho comprender con claridad muchas de las situaciones en el evangelio de Mateo. MacArthur hace un análisis detallado de los usos y costumbres descritos pero sobre todo, extrae la clave teológica de cada texto y la muestra de una manera clara y concisa, siendo tremendamente edificante.
I read this in tandem with the book of Matthew. The MacArthur commentary enhances understanding with context, explanations and cross references. The Gospel speaks for itself but this commentary helped me understand with greater depth and appreciation.
