What does the first book of the New Testament teach?
As the first gospel, the book of Matthew is a bridge between the Old Testament and the New. It presents Jesus as the Messiah predicted in the Old Testament, but also as the Savior whose death was necessary for the salvation of mankind. Yet Matthew also describes the future Kingdom of Jesus when He will reign on earth at His Second Coming.
In this fourth volume of the renewed Walvoord Commentary Series, renowned biblical scholar and prophecy expert John Walvoord, along with Dr. Charles Dyer, walks readers through the gospel of Matthew chapter by chapter and unfolds his message of Jesus’ Messianic identity, teachings, miracles, and future return as victorious King.
Revised and updated throughout and based on the text of the English Standard Version (ESV), this new edition of Walvoord’s commentary will serve a whole new generation of pastors, leaders, and laypeople.
This commentary on Matthew’s gospel is a good overview from the dispensational perspective. It is not in-depth like John MacArthur’s Matthew commentary. In fact practically every chapter in this book references the MacArthur commentary. If you are looking for a brief overview of Matthew’s gospel that brings out the main points, I would recommend this commentary. If you are looking for a more in-depth study, I would recommend the MacArthur Matthew commentary.
