This commentary is part of a new series of studies that will feature a number of volumes covering all of the New Testament books. There will be reliable expositions of the Bible text, a careful analysis of key words, easy outlines to follow, and helpful material to aid serious Bible students. The explanations are written from a conservative evangelical Brethren and Anabaptist point of view. The goal is to expound the Bible text accurately, and to produce a readable explanation of God's truth. Each volume can be especially useful for pastors, Sunday School teachers, and lay persons. The writers aim for thoroughness, clarity, and loyalty to the Anabaptist/Pietist values. The meaning of the Greek text (both for those who know Greek and those who don't), will be part of the exposition when necessary. The Brethren Revival Fellowship sponsored Brethren New Testament Commentary will simply take the biblical text as it is, and give the exposition, along with applications for everyday life. All who have been asked to write the commentaries in this series agree that the message of God's Word in its original documents was given without error, and that nothing more is necessary for spiritual growth.

It is always a challenge for the serious Bible teacher to communicate the eternal truths of God's Word in a way that respects the authority of that Word and transmits the essential meaning of the Word without being trite. In this new book, Harold S. Martin brings his talent for simplicity and clarity to an exposition of Matthew's Gospel. Through twenty chapters-most of them dealing with just one Gospel chapter each-the central message of Matthew shines: Jesus Christ is the promised Messiah of God.
