Description

The Interpretation Bible Commentary volume on Matthew by Mark Allan Powell offers a thoughtful exploration of the Gospel's enduring relevance for today's readers. This inaugural commentary brings together theological and pastoral sensitivity to understand how the church can embody God's presence in the world.

Powell's exegesis emphasizes the Gospel's critique of coercive power and its support for vulnerable populations, while also acknowledging its complex legacy and the need for honest assessment of its historical use. The commentary provides summaries of 17 prominent themes developed throughout Matthew, as well as excursuses on special topics such as worship and stewardship.

With sound critical exegesis and strong theological sensibilities, this volume offers innovative interpretive approaches to help readers engage the biblical text as a source for participating in the larger social world.
