Equipping Insights The Gospel of Matthew

This is the first in a series of very readable books that are a combination commentary and Bible study handbook, each covering the books of the New Testament, based on the author's 30+ years of teaching the Bible, keen interest in research into the historical and cultural background as well as other commentaries, and a gift for seeing insights that others might miss. This updated version of Matthew now contains study questions for every chapter designed to stimulate lively discussion and practical application to real life in group Bible study. There are several questions to choose from in each chapter and the facilitator may want to choose which questions to cover. This book is now a unique combination of the full biblical text, a great number of helpful cultural and historical observations, word study, and applications, and group study helps, making it a terrific book for either small group or personal Bible study. You will learn a lot. The book is a readable guide to equip the reader in better understanding Jesus of Nazareth, just how revolutionary He was and is, and what He values in His followers. It also reveals just how far off much of the Christian world is today from what Jesus taught and lived.
