PAIDEIA: Matthew

In this fresh commentary, the fourth of eighteen volumes in the Paideia series,
a leading New Testament scholar examines cultural context and theological
meaning in Matthew. This commentary, like each in the series, approaches each
text in its final, canonical form, proceeding by sense units rather than
word-by-word or verse-by-verse. Each sense unit is explored in three sections:
(1) introductory matters, (2) tracing the train of thought, (3) key
hermeneutical and theological questions.

Most commentaries rewrite earlier commentaries. The better ones, to the " contrary, often go their own way. Talbert's work happily is of the latter type.
It regularly offers fresh readings and new comparative materials, especially
from Greco-Roman sources. This is not a tired rehashing but a welcome
contribution. - Dale C. Allison
