Tyndale NT Commentary: Matthew ebook

The visit of the Magi, the Sermon on the Mount, the Great Commission: these are only a few of the well-known passages in Matthew's Gospel. Yet it begins with a list of unknown names and apparently irrelevant 'begettings'.

R T France tackles this and other key issues in the Gospel with clarity, reliability and relevance.
