Book Description Among the Gospels， Matthew is unique in containing the substance of all Christ's teaching. In his incisive， well-organized commentary， Myron Augsburger rewards us with important insights for our growing understanding of this key gospel. His discussion helps us recognize how Matthew acts as a bridge between Old and New Testaments， how the Christ events--birth-death-rising again--fulfill salvation history， and how to understand the identification of Matthew with Hebraic history and tradition. Part of the Communicator's Commentary series， combining rich resources of historical setting and textual interpretation with spiritual insights and contemporary illustrations.
