Gospel of Matthew (New Testament Commentary)

Summary: Hendriksen on Matthew
Review: Hendriksen, in my opinion, offers the best of several perspectives in his New Testament Commentaries.

If you are looking for pastoral insights you will benefit from Hendriksen's years as a pastor. His years as a college professor gave him great insight into effective methods of teaching.

His insights into the original languages are tremendous, and he is ingenious at putting hard-to-teach subject matter into understandable terms.

Hendriksen gives his own translation of the Greek. I especially apprecite how he differentiates between singular and plural pronouns in doing so.

For scholarship, personal Bible study, sermon thoughts and astute commentary, I heartily recommend this book.

Summary: Great for Study
Review: This volume has a ton of useful information. We are studying Matthew in our Sunday School class. Just about every question we come up with is covered in this book -- competently and clearly. Some questions are unanswered by the various study bibles we have (NIV, Life Application, New Geneva, Scofield, etc.) or they might have a sentence or two. However, when I look at this volume by Hendricksen, there are often three or four pages of information! Sure, I wish there had been more information about the missing lineage in the genealogy section, but few people would even know to check it. Otherwise, a great deal of information is provided in a nice format.
