Digital Logos Edition
Throughout the nineteenth century, biblical studies progressed and expanded, with the onset of new forms of criticism and the emergence of the historical consciousness. This volume is A. T. Robertson’s attempt to bring divergent views and interpretations on the Gospel of Matthew together into one volume. He offers a comprehensive commentary that is both compact and clear. In addition to discussions of canonicity, authorship, and historicity, this verse-by-verse commentary also outlines the characteristics and purpose of the book, as well as its theology and Christology.
“the confession of Jesus as the Messiah is the central idea of the passage” (Page 191)
“A difficult passage. Jesus hardly has in mind attacks on the kingdom by enemies, but rather the vehement energy of those who press on and take it in spite of difficulty. ‘Men of violence’ may be an indirect reflection of ‘the publicans and sinners’ who pushed ahead of the scribes and Pharisees into the kingdom.” (Page 151)
“Beatitudes describe the inward spiritual attitude of those who have received the Kingdom into their hearts” (Page 93)
“God does not need mere information. He has that. What he loves in prayer is the worshipful attitude, the sense of dependence and gratitude, love and trust.” (Page 106)
