Enlarged print edition now available! Tom Wright's eye-opening comments on the Gospel of Matthew and what it might mean for us are combined, passage-by-passage, with his fresh translation of the Bible text. Making use of his true scholar's understanding, yet writing in an approachable and anecdotal style, Wright captures the urgency and excitement of Matthew's Gospel in a way few writers have. Tom Wright has undertaken a tremendous task: to provide guides to all the books of the New Testament, and to include in them his own translation of the entire text. Each short passage is followed by a highly readable discussion with background information, useful explanations and suggestions, and thoughts as to how the text can be relevant to our lives today. A glossary is included at the back of the book. The series is suitable for group study, personal study, or daily devotions. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Wright begins each section with some example or illustration and then tries to make sense of what the Gospel is saying in its original context and its application for the modern day.
Wright's translations (and idiom, in general) are wonderfully British and on the whole quite compelling. Most of his comments are fantastic and beneficial; he does well at his strength-- presenting the events in their context in a realistic way. Most of his application points are relevant and quite pointed.
The only disappointment was his handling of Matthew 19 and divorce-- and it has less to do with his explanation of Matthew 19 itself, and more with an additional exception he carves out based on 1 Corinthians 7.
Other than that, it is quite useful and recommended for study. (
