St. Matthew

Description

“The proper approach to the New Testament has in the past so often been frustrated by bad or uninteresting teaching in youth that the modern emphasis on an accurate historical and critical framework for this greatest of spiritual revelations is the more admirable.
The enterprise of the publishers of the present series of Commentaries is directed not only towards the children, however, but towards their parents and teachers as well.
In the light of this triple responsibility, I have attempted to combine the relatively straightforward task of relating the Gospel narrative to its epoch and society with the more complex one of posing at least a few of the problems which face the student, the theologian and the critic.”
-P. Levertoff
