Bringing the Gospel of Matthew to Life: Insight and Inspiration Author/Editor: George Martin Order #: BGM3E8 Retail Price: $29.95 Publisher Website: Audience: Adults Medium: Book Refection Questions Available? Yes
Description: Biblical commentator George Martin has dedicated his career to showing Catholics how to read Scripture as the word of God. His easy to understand, verse-by-verse exposition of the Gospel of Matthew helps readers grasp not only the authors original meaning, but also what God is saying to his people today. This book features: - Background sections, with fascinating details relating to the history, geography, and culture of Palestine, along with definitions of the root meaning words used by Matthew; - References to and quotations of parallel passages in the Old and New Testaments; - Reflection questions that provide opportunities to pray over Matthews words and apply his teaching to our lives.
The authors writing is sound and well-researched, but popular rather than academic, so it enables readers to study and pray through Matthew at the same time.
