The Gospel of Matthew 18-28: The Triumph of the King (Expositional Commentary, Volume 2)

The Gospel of Matthew, said James Montgomery Boice, is "the first of the gospels, the longest, the most Jewish, the most evangelistic, and, in many ways, the most compelling."

This two-volume expositional commentary on one of the Bible's most powerful books integrates rigorous scholarship and clear communication. It will inform and help a wide range of readers - from serious Bible students to interested laypersons - understand and apply the truths found in the text.

Both volumes deal with Matthew's emphasis on Jesus as the Messiah or King of Israel. Topics in volume 2, The Triumph of the King, include:

• The Citizens of the Kingdom
• The King's Final Break with Judaism
• The Sermon on the Mount of Olives
• The King's Death and Resurrection

Boice not only explains the meaning of the text verse by verse and section by section; he also relates the text's concerns to the world in which we live the life of the church, and the realities of the Christian life.
