Matthew. A Biblical–Theological Commentary (en Inglés) - Frederick Dale Bruner;Michael Mears Bruner

New Commentary Series by Noted Father-Son Team Explores the Gospels as "Jesus' Greatest Hits"

For all that they include, the New Testament gospels represent only a small portion of Jesus' entire public ministry. The Gospel of John even notes that Jesus performed many other signs, which, had they been recorded, would have filled the world. As amalgamations of the greatest things that Jesus ever said and did, the gospels are, in a sense, his "Greatest Hits."

In this first volume of a four-volume series on the gospels, the father-son team of noted biblical scholar Frederick Dale Bruner and award-winning theologian and pastor Michael Mears Bruner explore both the popular hits and the deep cuts found in the gospels. In addition, while recent scholarship has often lamented the division between not only biblical studies and theology but also the separation between biblical commentary and the wider culture, this father-son team seeks to overcome false dichotomies by bridging the gap between disciplines and bringing the gospels and culture (literature, art, music, and philosophy) into deep conversation. In the process, they demonstrate that the gospels were not meant to be theological tracts but were intended to be manuals for living. Jesus wasn't simply telling his followers what to believe but showing his disciples how to live.

Inspired by a life-long conversation between father and son and representing decades of serious scholarship, each volume is written in a single, accessible voice that offers a resource for both the classroom and the study, for both learning and living.
