Three Months with Matthew

Three Months

by Justo L. González

Translated by the author, this week-by-week study offers a profound message for readers in simple, easy-to-understand language. Includes 13 detailed Bible studies with daily readings. The study is divided into three See (observations), Judge (historical context), Act (reflection). Journaling is encouraged and a small group study section appears at the end of each week. These Bible studies can be used for Sunday school, for evening Bible study, for home study meetings, for faith communities, for retreats, and for personal Bible study. This book can even be used as a daily Bible study, as each lesson is divided into seven parts.

Reviews

[Paul Burnette · Rating 4 out of 5]

Supremely well-organized and intelligently written, This study guide for the Gospel of Matthew is intended to take the reader not just to an understanding of Matthew's text, but to think clearly about the contemporary context of the writer and lead the reader into thinking and applying Matthew's teachings to our lives today. A short biblical text is to be read each day for six days, then a longer passage on the seventh day. Seeing, judging, acting are part of each day's discipline.

I love the companionship of Justo Gonzalez as I study scripture. He is unflinchingly honest, provides helpful cultural commentary, and always seeks action in response to God's word.
