Reviews

[Daniel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Homiletical commentary - homiletical in the sense that it reads like a sermon. Many interpretive issues that one might otherwise expect to find discussed in a commentary are ignored. What I probably missed the most was a focus on what Matthew himself was trying to communicate through the themes and foci of his gospel, but MacArthur generally jumps straight to a gospel harmony and seems often to comment more on the life of Jesus than on Matthew specifically. That being said, once on accepts the way MacArthur has decided to interact with the text and the reader, there is much good both in understanding of the text and in application for the reader.

These commentaries were enormously helpful to me as a young Christian. I would legit sit in my room all day reading them. It was a nice trip down memory lane pulling this one off my shelf for a recent paper.
