Concise Commentary on the Bible - Book of Matthew

Written by Matthew Henry

Narrated by LibriVox Community

Spiritual and practical lessons are extracted from every verse of the Book of Matthew, as well as detailed explanation of the text. The Book of Matthew is part of the New Testament in the Holy Bible and is one of the four gospels. The other 3 gospels are Mark, Luke, and John. Matthew was a tax collector before becoming a disciple of Jesus Christ. The style of his gospel suggests that he was directing his message to Jewish readers. His work aims to systematically prove that Jesus Christ is the messiah who has been prophesied about in the Old Testament. He did this by revealing each prophecy in that book fulfilled by Jesus Christ. (Summary by Nadege Bernard)

I really liked the conciseness and the organization. About 5 minutes on each chapter is really great. Plus the chapters correspond one-to-one the Matthew's Gospel.

Really good stuff. Sadly, I wasn't reading the Gospel side-by-side with this commentary, so I missed out on a lot. Henry does a great job exponding on the text in simple, elegant ways.

Love it! I want to use this as a study tool for Bible study. Definitely re-reading this.
