მახსოვს თინეიჯერობის პერიოდში, მიუხედავად ჩემი ქრისტიანობის მიმართ წინააღმდეგობისა, ამ წიგნს ხელში მაინც მოწიწებით ვიღებდი, თითქოს რაღაც ღვთაებრივს ვკითხულობდი, მიუხედავად იმისა რომ ძალიან ვცდილობდი მასე არ ყოფილიყო. ეხლა სრულიად განთავისუფლებული ვარ ამ წიგნის გავლენისგან, და სრულიად ლაღად ვკითხულობ. საერთოდ არაფრის წინააღმდეგობაში ყოფნა აღარ მიწევს. ჰიპნოზის ტექნიკაა "რაც უფრო მეტად ეწინააღმდეგები უფრო მეტად დაგეხუჭება თვალები".
რადგან ჰიპნოზი ვახსენე ბარემ ვიტყვი რომ, მაოცებს იესოს შთაგონების ეს ძალა ეს ჰიპნოზი რასაც ის აკეთებს. მაგრამ მერე რომ ვფიქრდები იმდენად სასწაულად აღარ მეჩვენება. იმ დროში ალბათ უფრო ადვილი იქნებოდა ხალხის შთაგონება, ეხლა კი ძალიან ბევრი იესოები არიან ჩვენს გარშემო, რომლებსაც ასე დიდი შთაგონების ძალა აქვთ.
კონკრეტულად მათეს სახარებაზე რა ვთქვა არ ვიცი. გავლენებისგან რაც უფრო თავისუფალი კითხულობ ამ წიგნს მით უფრო მცირე და უბრალო ამბავი ხდება. ცოტა აგრესიაც არის მაგრამ ალბათ იმ დროში იმ ხალხთან ასე იყო საუბარი საჭირო. ვფიქრობ იესოს მითი ოიდიპოსსაც გავს, რადგან ასე მოსვლით ის ძველი აღთქმის ღმერთს უპირისპირდება, კლავს მამას და ახალ რელიგიას აგრესიის მაგივრად სიყვარულზე აშენებს. ამ სიყვარულს სქესი არ აქვს და თუ მაინც უნდა მივაკუთვნოთ რამეს ალბათ სიყვარული ქალია და ოიდიპოსის შემთხვევაში დედა.

An excellent, evangelical commentary on the Gospel of Matthew. Of course, I did not agree with all. However, Morris knows the Gospel and lets that shape his commentary. He keeps away from too much speculation. I liked that he had his own translation in the commentary. This, along with France's commentary in the NICNT series, make a great pair.

A good and readable commentary for the serious student of the Bible and for Pastors.

Leon Morris writes a very readable and concise commentary on the gospel according to Matthew from a conservative and evangelical stance. The exegetical issues concerning difficult texts are dealt with in a way that a student with a basic knowledge of Greek could follow the main arguments.

However, Morris gives very little pastoral application of the text, and lacks any use of biblical typology, as a means of explaining some of Matthews' difficult text such as Mt. 27:51-53, and the OT feast of first fruits, Christ's resurrection and the birth of the church (cf. Lev. 23:15; Mt. 28:1; 1 Cor. 15:20-23; Jam. 1:18).

I love this commentary series. This commentary does not disappoint. It is technical enough to help an individual better understand the culture and context of the day without becoming overwhelming or force a person to use a Greek dictionary to understand what the author is saying. I do not regret this purchase at all. I will keep this commentary in my library.

Morris is pretty much a down-the-middle commentator. It is clear what he believes in this regard, resulting in the analogy of faith forming a significant component of his work.

This has been my go-to commentary while preaching through Matthew.

The gospel uses the word Father of God 64 times, some stirrings as we come to Father's Day on Sunday
