The Gospel According to Matthew opens the New Testament by introducing Jesus Christ, the King who came to fulfill Old Testament promises and prophecies. In the first half of his study on Matthew, Sellers Crain examines the events surrounding the birth of the King and His teachings about the coming kingdom. He shows how the peoples reactions to Jesus began to brew Into a storm. The results are covered in the next volume, Matthew 14-28.
"The Christian should be a persistent student of the Gospels, striving to grow into the image of Christ. Sellers Crain and David Stewart have been of invaluable assistance to all of us by providing this readable and thorough commentary. Whoever studies through it will be given a life-changing picture of Jesus. This work will take its place alongside other great commentaries on Matthew by McGarvey, Boles, and Lewis."
