Studying the Bible doesn't have to be a chore, and understanding God's Word doesn't have to mean slogging through dull commentaries stuffed with theological jargon. Bible-Smart: Matthew is an invitation to sit down together and talk about honest questions everyone has about the Bible. Every page is a relaxed, fascinating, and enjoyable conversation through the Gospel of Matthew. Covering more than 200 questions, Mike Nappa gives well-researched and thoughtful, yet easy-to-understand answers to what you've always been curious about. Get answers to questions like:
- Do we know where Jesus was buried?
- No one seems to know what happened to Mary's husband, Joseph - why?
- Why does Jesus call himself the "Son of Man"?
- And more!
There is joy in discovering the riches of God's Word, and curiosity is the first step. Each Q&A can be read in under two minutes, making this book perfect for small-group Bible studies, young-adult ministries, or personal reading and devotion. This is a new kind of commentary for today's generation. Includes questions like:
- What was it like to live with leprosy in Jesus' time?
- If Jesus clearly promises "you will receive what you ask for" in prayer, why do so many prayers go unanswered?
- What does it mean that the curtain in the Temple was torn in two when Jesus died?
- Do "outer darkness" and "weeping and gnashing of teeth" always refer to hell, or are there other interpretations?
- Why was Peter so afraid of a little servant girl that he would deny even knowing Jesus?
- And more!
