Book excerpt: Excerpt from Commentary on the Gospel According to Matthew The wealth of material in the Gospel of Matthew was a constant temptation to transgress the limits set by the series to which this commentary belongs. But at any rate the book has the necessary virtue of condensation. I have sought to produce a handbook both compact and clear. Some of the Master's greatest discourses are pre served in the First Gospel, and for that and other reasons it has always been the most popular of the Four Gospels. The books in English that are most useful to one who wishes to pursue the subject further are named at the close of the Introduction. Those who wish to consult books in German can begin with Zahn, or with Holtz mann's haml-kommefltar. If one has Allen for synoptic criticism, Plummer for grip of the whole movement of the book, Broadus for historical setting and Spiritual insight, Bruce for penetration and pungent statement, Meyer for grammatical detail, and Zahn for cyclopedic wealth of information, he is well equipped for the study of the gos pel, so far as commentaries go. I shall have a real, if unknown, interest in every one who seeks to know more of the mind of Christ through the present volume.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Commentary on the Gospel of Matthew There may have been cases where the possibility of mistaking a non-apostolical for an apostolical writing is less incredible than in the case mentioned, but there were none, it is believed, where such a mistake can be regarded as probable. And, in spite of modern doubts and denials, it is evident from a variety of circumstances that the early Christians were reasonably cautious about the sources of their knowledge. It is evident, for example, from the four great Epistles of Paul (viz. Romans, First and Second Corinthians, and Galatians), which are accepted as genuine by the boldest criticism, that special and, indeed, absolute confidence was reposed in the teaching of those admitted to be apostles(1 Cor. 12: 28, 29; 2 Cor. 11: 5; 12: 11, 12; Gal. 2: 7-9; Eph. 2: 20; 4: 11).They were looked upon as entitled to speak with authority on all matters relating to the person and work of Christ or the duty of his followers. Naturally, therefore, their writings would be preserved and consulted with the greatest respect. It is also evident from hints in the New Testament, and from the language of the Christian Fathers, that along with the teaching of the apostles was placed the teaching of their companions, such as Mark and Luke, either because their doctrine was supposed to be received directly from apostles, and to be fully endorsed by them, or because, in addition to their intimacy with apostles, they were believed to have a special gift of inspiration to qualify them for their work. If, now, as history appears to show, the formation of the New Testament Canon was left to the prudence and piety of the early churches, several things which may be said to characterize the actual process of formation are seen to be natural, if not inevitable. A few of these may be named in this place. 1. The Principal Reason for admitting a Book to the Canon was found in its Authorship. - If the sacred books of the New Covenant had been selected by the apostle John, the names and relations of their writers might have been a matter of no vital importance to any one. Enlightened by the Spirit, this apostle might have discerned the pure gold of truth with no admixture of error in anonymous productions, and these productions, stamped with his approval, might have been welcomed by the churches without much desire or effort to ascertain who were their authors. The great name and authority of John would have proved sufficient for a time to satisfy reason and blunt the edge of curiosity. But if books were to be pronounced authoritative and assigned a place in the Canon by the common judgment of churches composed of uninspired men, it could only be done on the ground of confidence in their authors as men who were commissioned by the Lord to declare his truth, and assisted to do this by the Holy Spirit. And this appears to have been the principal, if not the sole, ground on which the books of the New Testament were accepted by the churches, in preference to all others, as authentic statements of fact, of doctrine, and of duty. 2. The Formation of the Canon was a Slow but Safe Process. - To understand this, the reader must picture to himself the condition of the churches when the last of the apostles died in Ephesus. For that condition was not such as to suggest the necessity of collecting at once the standard documents of Christianity into a single volume.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Practical Commentary on the Gospel According to St. Matthew There is no History or Story in existence more charming than St. Matthew's Memorials or Memoirs of the birth, life, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. A confluence of elements contributes to this charm. The Personage portrayed is undoubtedly the principal source of the interest. He was the Ideal of a man. Even the idea of such an Ideal fascinates the imagination. But the realization of it is inexpressibly captivating. The realization took place in Jesus Christ. He was not only faultless: when viewed on the positive side of His being, as well as on the negative, He was a perfect human person. His perfection, too, was of the highest conceivable type. Not merely in regard to all those matter-of-fact details of duty which devolve on men universally, but also in regard to all the higher possibilities of moral life, that culminate in the noblest conceivable aims, and the grandest conceivable attainments and achievements, was He perfect. He was thus the most remarkable of men. In the intensest acceptation of the expression, He was the Son of man. As He grew up from childhood to maturity, He rose, as rapidly as the necessary limitations of human nature, in the process of development from less to greater, would admit, to the absolute climax and pinnacle of human perfectibility.

This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New Commentary on the Gospel According to Matthew This volume is meant to give the student of the Gospel accord ing to Matthew an amount of illustration which he has hitherto been unable to gather except from many sources, and is meant at the same time, by the strictest avoidance of all expression or implication of any theological Opinion, to make it deserving of acceptance to students of the most diverse views. It will probably be thought by most that, while the latter aim is immeasurably the harder to achieve, such achievement, if attained, must be self-evident. And indeed I have no fear that any reader can suspect me either of covertly favouring or covertly opposing the doctrines of any church or sect. Churches and sects, however, are only fragments of two great religious parties - a Right which believes the accuracy of the New Testa ment narratives on all important points to be certain, and a Left which considers their accuracy on 'some important points to be uncertain - a large body of each party of course holding views much less qualified than these. And there are certain features in this commentary which, unless explained, might be interpreted by one party or the other as a violation of the writer's profession of neutrality.

This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Exegetical Commentary on the Gospel According to S. Matthew The attempt to write this commentary has been made under impulses given, in the one case consciously, in the other not, by two friends. For some years, Bishop Lloyd of Newcastle-on-Tyne, whose loss we are still deeply lamenting, had been urging the writer to do something of the kind; and one of the latest letters received from him, - a letter written shortly before his death, expressed delight that this volume was progressing. And it was the writer's privilege to take a very small part in the production of the invaluable work on this Gospel by the Rev. W. C. Allen in the International Critical Commentary published by Messrs. T. & T. Clark. To share in that work was to be inspired to continue it. This volume, therefore, has two aims over and above the desire to do something in accordance with Bishop Lloyd's earnest wishes. On the one hand, this sequel to Mr. Allen's commentary has for its object to call the attention of some who do not already know it to a book which Leaflet 31 of the Central Society of Sacred Study (July 1907) pronounces to be "the best English commentary on the first Gospel" (p. 5), and of which reviewers have said much the same. On the other hand, this volume aims at supplementing the earlier one. A re viewer in the Guardian doubted whether Mr. Allen "was well advised to restrict himself so rigidly to questions of literary, as distinct from historical - not to say theological and religious - interest."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gospel of Matthew The aim of this commentary is to bring out the religious meaning and message of the New Testament writings. To do this, it is needful to explain what they originally meant for the communities to which they were addressed in the first century, and this involves literary and historical criticism otherwise, our reading becomes unintelligent. But the New Testament was the literature of the early church, written out of faith and for faith, and no study of it is intelligent unless this aim is kept in mind. It is literature written for a religious purpose. These are written that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.' This is the real object of the New Testament, that Christians might believe it better, in the light of contemporary' life with its intellectual and moral problems. So with any commentary upon it. Everything ought to be subordinated to the aim of elucidating the religious content, of showing how the faith was held in such and such a way by the first Christians, and of making clear what that faith was and is. The idea of the commentary arose from a repeated demand to have my New Testament translation explained; which accounts for the fact that this translation has been adopted as a convenient basis for the commentary. But the contri butors have been left free to take their own way. If they interpret the text differently, they have been at liberty to say so. Only, as a translation is in itself a partial com mentary, it has Often saved space to print the commentary and start from it.

Download or read book Matthew written by Frederick Dale Bruner and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2007-06-25 with total page 653 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recognized as a masterly commentary when it first appeared, Frederick Dale Bruner's study of Matthew is now available as a greatly revised and expanded two-volume work -- the result of seven years of careful refinement, enrichment, and updating. Through this commentary, crafted especially for teachers, pastors, and Bible students, Bruner aims "to help God's people love what Matthew's Gospel says." Bruner's work is at once broadly historical and deeply theological. It is historical in drawing extensively on great church teachers through the centuries and on the classical Christian creeds and confessions. It is theological in that it unpacks the doctrines in each passage, chapter, and section of the Gospel. Consciously attempting to bridge past and present, Bruner asks both what Matthew's Gospel said to its first hearers and what it says to readers today. As a result, his commentary is profoundly relevant to contemporary congregations and to those who guide them. Bruner's commentary is replete with lively, verse-by-verse discussion of Matthew's text. While each chapter expounds a specific topic or doctrine, the book's format consists of a vivid, original translation of the text followed by faithful exegesis and critical analysis, a survey of historical commentary on the text, and current applications of the text or theme under study. In this revision Bruner continues to draw on the best in modern scholarship -- including recent work by W. D. Davies and Dale C. Allison Jr., by Ulrich Luz, and by many others -- adding new voices to the reading of Matthew. At the same time he cites the classic commentaries of Chrysostom, Jerome, Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Bengel, and the rest, who, like Bruner himself, were not simply doctrinal teachers but also careful exegetes of Scripture. Such breadth and depth of learning assure that Bruner's Matthew will remain, as a reviewer for Interpretation wrote, "the most dog-eared commentary on the shelf." Volume 1 of Bruner's commentary is called The Christbook because the first twelve chapters of Matthew are focused on the nature and work of Christ. As Bruner proceeds through these chapters, he shows how Matthew presents, step by step, central themes of Christology: Jesus' coming (chapters 1 4), his teaching (5 7), his miracles (8 9), his sermon on mission (10), and his person (11 12). Throughout the book there are also thoughtful discussions of significant topics such as baptism, marriage, Jewish-Christian relations, and heaven and hell. Eminently readable, rich in biblical insight, and ecumenical in tone, Bruner's two-volume commentary on Matthew now stands among the best in the field.
